GLOUCESTER Arts and Culture Council (GACCI) has more than 90 volunteers keeping the Gloucester Gallery open, performing in plays, assisting with lighting and sound, serving drinks, and running workshops.
“Without our volunteers GACCI would not be able to provide the multitude of activities we do,” said Charlie Lethbridge, Gloucester Gallery administrator.
To thank the volunteers for their support the GACCI committee organised a thank you morning tea at the Gloucester Gallery.
“We wanted to thank everyone for their commitment and hard work,” GACCI secretary Jenny Lindsay said.
Many of the volunteers who came to the morning tea had not met each other before.
“Gallery volunteers look after the gallery on their own so today was a great way for them to meet other volunteers,” said Charlie.
GACCI has a big 2026 planned with four productions in the pipeline, theatre workshops for adults, a primary school drama group, a writing competition, music events and a new art exhibition every month.
GACCI is also keen to run some movie evenings.
“We are very excited about 2026. If you are interested in theatre, writing, music or art we are a great organisation to become involved with. New people are very welcome.” Charlie told News Of The Area.
