GL11 Wins Award
GL11 Community Hub awarded for showing their intent to embrace inclusivity and diversity as an employer.
The GL11 Community Hub are proud to have won an award for being one of Gloucestershire’s most inclusive employers. The award which is part of the Inclusivity Works campaign, was launched by the Gloucestershire based, Going the Extra Mile (GEM) Project and presented to the GL11 Community Hub, honouring them as one of the first organisations, to receive the award which commends their commitment to building an inclusive culture in the workplace.
All of the winners, have been recognised for embracing and creating a culture where diverse groups of people feel valued, confident and able to be themselves, and have seen incredible benefits as individuals contribute their very best to the organisation.
Awards were presented to 13 employers that have welcomed inclusivity and diversity as part of their working and employment practices, supporting candidates that, for a variety of reasons, have struggled to get into the workplace. By doing so, they are helping to create a sustainable future for inclusivity in the workplace as well as reaping tangible benefits.
The Great Jubilee Flag Project
Local school children from the Cam and Dursley community took part in a joint project by Dursley Creative’s and the GL11 Community Hub during May and June.
More than 900 school children from the Cam and Dursley community took part in a joint project by Dursley Creative’s and the GL11 Community Hub during May and June.
The project, which aimed to bring some creativity into the community and teach local children and community groups, how to silkscreen flag designs onto fabric to make flags for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations at the beginning of June, was a huge success, linking up schools, teaching staff and different community groups with local artists.
As well as schools delivering the sessions as part of their creative programme, pop-up sessions were held here at the GL11 Community Hub in the evenings and over weekends and everyone in the community were invited to come along.
The Flag project ran for 6 weeks and more flags than we could count were created as a lasting and memorable way to remember the celebrations held for our Queen’s 75th year in reign.
