Activities

GCT aims to put culture at the heart of Gloucester for the good of all. We work in partnership locally, regionally and nationally to create, test and deliver projects which will make Gloucester a city full of art and heritage. We want our city to be known for its distinctive culture: innovative and excellent, quirky and edgy, diverse and community-based with a strong focus on young people.

Objects: The following objects shall be carried out for the public benefit In the City of Gloucester and the surrounding area:1) To promote, improve and advance public appreciation of the arts, culture and heritage, in particular but not exclusively by: a) Encouraging public participation in the arts, culture and creative practice through the provision of facilities and the facilitation and management of workshops and creative projects, and by the presentation of concerts, performances, exhibitions, festivals and events demonstrating work of artistic merit. b) Supporting charities, arts, heritage and creative organisations and not for profit bodies and individuals engaged in the provision of artistic, creative, and cultural activities and events.2) To advance education in the arts, culture, art and cultural history and heritage of the City of Gloucester, and in the skills and competencies necessary to develop successful creative public benefit enterprises by the provision of training, lectures, talks, workshops, arts and heritage projects, performances and exhibitions and by publishing and distributing publications.3) To relieve those in need by reason of youth, age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage by assisting unestablished creative practitioners to become self-supporting through their work.4) To further or benefit the residents of the City of Gloucester and the surrounding area, without distinction of sex, sexual orientation or race, or of political, religious or other opinions, by associating together the said residents and local authorities, voluntary and other organisations in a common effort to advance education and to provide facilities in the interests of social welfare for recreation and leisure time occupation with the objective of improving the conditions of life for the residents.Nothing in this constitution shall authorise an application of the property of the CIO for the purposes which are not charitable.
