Gloucestershire Gateway Partnership
Go Together is delivering an ambitious workforce transformation programme, a bold step towards reimagining how we support children, young people, and families across Gloucestershire. Through a co-created and relational approach, we aim to shift from traditional, deficit-based services toward empowering communities to lead their own transformation.
Over the past few months, we’ve been working alongside over 130 colleagues from across the Gloucestershire Gateway Trust partnership to co-create a learning programme rooted in community-led, strengths-based practice. We’re proud to share the full Appreciative Inquiry report, which captures the voices and insights of local practitioners and residents who want to shift how we work from doing to, towards doing with and by.
Enabling people to thrive - place based work in Priors Park
Our project with Bromford Flagship is a place-based learning and development programme delivered by Go Together working in Priors Park, Tewkesbury. Designed as a ‘test and learn’ initiative, it strengthens Bromford’s approach to place based work through relational, asset-based, and trauma-informed practice.
Through a series of workshops, Action Learning Sets, and participatory evaluation, colleagues and residents are co-creating Patch Plans that reflect the strengths, aspirations, and ideas of local people. The project aims to embed community-led action, nurture trust, and build sustainable capacity for change.
We are evolving three key areas of learning:
Working with the community in Priors Park to grow local capacity and leadership.
Strengthening cross-organisational and community relationships that enable a community-led approach.
Deepening understanding of place-based practice internally among Bromford Flagship colleagues, so teams can work better together and serve local residents.
Together, these priorities are helping shape a model of adaptive, collaborative practice that can inform Bromford’s wider work across neighbourhoods and regions.
Place Partnerships - Sport England
Go Together are providing facilitation support to the Place Partnerships initiative. Sport England's Place Partnerships programme aims to enhance sport and physical activity across England by collaborating with local communities to address specific barriers to being active. By March 2025, the initiative has expanded to include over 90 Place Partnerships, focusing resources on areas with the highest inactivity levels and social needs. This approach involves working with local authorities, health services, community organizations, and other stakeholders to develop tailored solutions that promote physical activity. The programme utilizes data from Active Lives Surveys and other social indicators to inform its strategies, ensuring that investments are directed where they can have the most significant impact.
Somerset's Health and Wellbeing System Wide Leadership Project
Somerset's Health and Wellbeing System-Wide Leadership Project aims to strengthen relationships across communities. The project is seeking to foster distributed leadership through place-based working. Through amplifying resident voices and promoting collaboration, we are seeking to achieve systems change, that places individuals at the heart, while mobilising the power of collective agency.
This project has been initiated by Community Council for Somerset https://ccslovesomerset.org/
Anything you can think of... Reimagining the Old Wilko Store as a Community Hub in Yeovil
Go Together is supporting Yeovil Art Space and Community Connectors to transform the former Wilko store in Yeovil town centre into a vibrant community hub for creativity, connection, and belonging. The project is part of reimagining Glovers Walk, bringing together artists, residents, and organisations to co-design how the space can serve as a catalyst for community-led regeneration.
Through facilitated workshops, community conversations, and partnership development, the work focuses on:
Activating local assets by recognising and connecting the skills, passions, and networks of Yeovil’s communities.
Building shared ownership of the space, ensuring local people shape its purpose and activities.
Exploring new models of stewardship that make the hub financially and socially sustainable.
The emerging vision is of a welcoming, multi-use space that nurtures creativity, enterprise, and wellbeing — a place where art, community, and local life meet to spark renewal in the heart of Yeovil.
From Management to Stewardship
This program is a seven month stewardship development programme, co-designed and delivered by Go Together, to support Thrive Somerset's leaders and managers to grow their capacity for collective stewardship and help shape the future of the organisation
Facilitation of Board Awayday
facilitated workshop for the Gloucestershire Community Foundation's Trustees and staff is to strengthen relationships and co-create a new 10-year strategy in response to evolving community needs and challenges.
Together Gloucester: Participatory Decision Making
Together Gloucester seeks to change the way that Gloucester’s residents and communities engage with the city’s cultural offer. By setting up a citizen panel the people of Gloucester will be at the heart of cultural decision-making, so that the cultural offer reflects those who live here.
Local residents will come together and make decisions about which local projects to fund and support. Go Together are facilitating the 'Citizens Panel' through introducing tools for community decision making.

“Working with Rich on our communications strategy gave us the space to pause and reflect on who we are and how we tell our story. He designed a process that helped us dig into our identity and clarify our core messages, all while keeping the sessions focused, collaborative, and accessible.
