About Gary Cliffe

"Inveniam Viam Aut Facium" - 'I shall find a way or I shall make one"My skills, experience and passions are in the fields of Social Enteprise, Charities, Community and Faith based organisations, either starting them myself or supporting others to do what drives them. As part of that journey I have provided opportunities for those in my community with disadvantages (economic, socio, physical, sensory, or neurodiverse) to get a foothold on their own ladder. It was nice for that work to be recognised when I was made Honorary Freeman of Cheshire West & Chester in 2021. I operate my own social enterprise with my wife: Inclusive Community Development, act as CEO of Cheshire West Voluntary Action, act as Treasurer and member of the Circuit Leadership Team for a grouping of 25 Methodist Churches in South Cheshire, am founding Director of Whitegate Station Community Cafe and on moving house to Audlem am now Treasurer of ADCA.. Recently many endeavours have been concentrated around the integration of health & social care. I am on the Place Executive for Cheshire West as well as many other related boards such as the Health & Wellbeing Board. My role is ensuring the Community Sector voice is heard and that the sector is treated as "equal partners" in the new world. I wish to use my experience, knowledge, insight, candour and integrity to create a future that puts the individual and the local community at the centre of the system.If you wish to get in touch, please email me at garycliffe@gmail.com

Gary Cliffe Work Experience Details
  • Cheshire West Voluntary Action
    Chief Executive Officer
    Cheshire West Voluntary Action Aug 2021 - Present
    Chester, England, United Kingdom
    Previously interim and new permanent CEO I have been employed to ensure the voice of the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) sector is heard, especially in the conversations surrounding integration of health & social care. The Community Sector has a lot to offer in a world where demand is ever increasing, budgets are being cut and where support for those needing care needs to be based on communities and people's strengths, not just clinical interventions. Working with senior leaders from local authority and health partners gives me a unique viewpoint in understanding the issues. My ability to grasp the details but to then apply strategic solutions working with CWVA members is leading to some exciting developments.
  • Inclusive Community Development
    Founding Director
    Inclusive Community Development Jun 2020 - Present
    Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    This was a brand new initiative in June 2020. Inclusive Community Development was founded by two social enterprise and charity professionals who recognised significant gaps in social care provision for disabled people, particularly those undergoing transition from children's services to adult provision. At the heart of ICD is working with community partners to ensure that autistic people can fully engage with and contribute to their local community.
  • Cheshire South Methodist Circuit
    Circuit Treasurer
    Cheshire South Methodist Circuit Jul 2020 - Present
    Cheshire, England, United Kingdom
    With my background in finance, strategy and Methodism this opportunity was too good to miss! All Churches are going through change and the 30 churches that make up the Cheshire South group (circuit) are no exception. My part time role is to oversee the Circuit finances and help the Circuit Leadership Team manage the necessary transition to a modern and visionary church.
  • Changing Lives Together
    Head Of Business Development
    Changing Lives Together Apr 2019 - Jun 2020
    Cheshire
    Having passed on the reigns of CEO I worked part time for the newly merged social enterprise Changing Lives Together in the role of Business Development. This gave me time not only to create new opportunities for the organisation I originally founded in 1997 but also enabled me to look for new opportunities to create social impact. I have now moved on leaving the organisation strong and in good hands.
  • Valorum Foundation
    Managing Director
    Valorum Foundation Oct 2019 - Mar 2020
    Manchester, England, United Kingdom

They now need a full time MD to move the vision forward. I know they will do great things and I will follow with great interest.
  • Changing Lives In Cheshire

    Changing Lives In Cheshire Feb 2011 - Apr 2019
    Winsford
    I founded this charity in 2011 with partner Deina Smith and acted as CEO until 2019. The purpose of CLiC was to facilitate the reuse of donated household furniture and electrical items at affordable and realistic prices whilst creating supported employment and volunteer opportunities for members of the local community who needed a leg up (those with physical and learning difficulties, those looking for employment, those on community payback schemes (probation) and school placements) or people wanting to give something back.This is what I do best – initiating exciting community based projects that generate trading and training income as well as social impact and then delivering the detailed implementation.

This involved the coordination of 33 London Boroughs, 6 route managers and the regular pulling together of multi million pound bids for funding which in 2003 and then again in 2007 required one of the largest, most detailed, audits ever undertaken of a walking network. The 10 year project resulted in a walking network to bring green spaces closer to those living and working in London.
