We cover the following areas:

  • Gloucester
  • Cheltenham
  • Forest of Dean
  • Tewkesbury
  • Cotswolds
  • Stroud
  • If you support someone who lives in Gloucestershire but you live out of county

You maybe be supporting someone with physical or emotional needs, they could be living independently from you but require your support on a daily or weekly basis. This could be due to ill health, frailty, mental health or due to an addiction. They may also live in residential care/ support but you remain an active part of their support network.

There is no minimum requirement for the number of hours which you are supporting someone for.

You may be supporting them:

  • Via the telephone offering emotional support
  • Taking someone to appointments
  • Supporting with cooking, cleaning, shopping and other daily tasks
  • Assisting with dressing, cleaning and other personal care needs
  • Going in to check on someone regularly

Whatever you do to support someone else you are a Carer even if you don’t think of yourself as one.

The individual who you are supporting could be:

  • A family member; spouse, husband, wife, child, adult child or partner
  • A friend
  • A neighbour
  • An ex-partner

Whoever you are supporting we are here to offer advice, information and support to you to enable you to think about your needs whilst offering support to someone else.

If there are a number of people supporting someone, we welcome anyone providing support to someone to register with us to access information, support and our services.

💚 Moving together, supporting together 💚

Yesterday, we supported Carers Active Together 2026 from Carers UK, an initiative focused on helping unpaid carers build physical activity into everyday life, in ways that feel welcoming, achievable and social.

Carers and those they support joined us for a refreshing walk at Gloucester Docks, exploring the beauty of Alney Island, and we also visited Westonbirt for another uplifting walk and craft session. These moments weren’t just about exercise, they were about connection, shared experience and taking time to focus on personal wellbeing alongside caring roles.

Activities like these remind us that gentle movement, fresh air and good company can make a real difference. Creating opportunities where carers feel supported, valued and able to prioritise their own health is vital and it’s something we’re committed to continuing.

👩‍💼👨‍💼 Unpaid carers are a vital part of today’s workforce

Nearly 3 million unpaid carers are in paid employment, with 1 in 5 adults balancing work alongside caring responsibilities. Yet caring often goes unrecognised and 600 people a day leave work to care.

✅ Supporting carers benefits everyone
✔ Better retention
✔ Reduced absence
✔ Higher productivity
✔ More inclusive workplaces

🌿 Are you a Carer Aware employer?

We are the commissioned carer service for Gloucestershire, and we can support both employers and unpaid carers for free.

Our Carer Aware Employer Toolkit helps organisations recognise carers, explore flexible working, create carer‑inclusive policies, and signpost support through Gloucestershire Carers Hub.

👉 Download the toolkit:
https://landing.peopleplus.co.uk/GCH-Website-documents/Professional%20Information/Are%20you%20a%20Carer%20Aware%20Employer_.pdf

🤝 We also support inclusive workplaces through the PeoplePlus Social Recruitment Advocacy Group (SRAG), working with employers to remove barriers to employment, including for unpaid carers.

👉 https://peopleplus.co.uk/social-recruitment-advocacy-group

💬 We can offer free support to employers to become more carer aware.

📩 For advice or queries, please email gchcommunity@peopleplus.co.uk
