Enabling and building your influence
Voscur works to ensure local organisations can represent the people they serve. We do this through our network of Sector Leaders, by connecting groups with policymakers, and directly through our staff and trustees.
Commissioning
Ensure your expertise, and clients' perspectives and aspirations, help to shape local commissioning strategies by influencing relevant decision-makers.
Sector Leaders
Voscur's Sector Leaders represent our collective voice through their role on strategic decision-making and policy boards across the city, because we're stronger and more effective working together.
Inclusion
The disadvantages that equalities groups and marginalised communities face in Bristol is both structural and often invisible, so we use positive action to address such inequalities.
