About What's Your Story?:

Gloucestershire Infrastructure Group commissioned a research project to run during February and March 2009, to help build an accurate picture of how our sector is faring in the current economic landscape. The research was supported by Capacity Builders and by the Big Lottery-funded Gloucestershire Rural Community Council Performance Improvement For All Project.
