We are featuring businesses who have signed up to offer a carer discount in this space.

Why not add your business name to our growing community of carer supporting businesses?

The Gloucestershire Carers Hub are commissioned by Gloucestershire Council along with the NHS to provide a free of charge service to support informal, unpaid Carers across Gloucestershire (People looking after a loved one/family member/friend or neighbour). As part of our service we offer Advice, Information, Guidance and Support.

Currently, we are working in partnership within the local community to increase the awareness of informal carers across the area and to raise the profile of local partners – these being, cafes, takeaways and local businesses.

As part of this we are introducing a Carer Aware Card, which is provided to all carers registered with the Carers Hub. We want carers to use this card to enable them to access a range of services and products at reduced rates (to be specified by the individual service) as well as promoting local businesses.

Partners could be providing special offers or discount to carers of which we currently have over 4000, thus increasing the footfall for anyone taking part in the scheme.

The Carers Hub will commit to promoting all partners signing up to the Carer Aware Card scheme, through our social media and many other channels.
