🌟 Reflecting on Carers Week 2026 - Gloucestershire Carers Hub 🌟 As Carers Week 2026 comes to a close, we’re proud to look back on a week dedicated to recognising and supporting unpaid carers across Gloucestershire and the UK. Delivered by PeoplePlus, the Gloucestershire Carers Hub brought communities together through our Carer Cuppa & Cake in the Community sessions, quickly adapting plans and moving indoors to ensure carers still had a warm, welcoming space to connect despite the rain ☕🍰 It was fantastic to see Chris Harrison, Divisional Managing Director for Employability, attend and spend time meeting carers at one of the events, hearing directly about carers experiences and the importance of the support available. Alongside this, our online sessions, delivered in partnership with The Care Advice Line and delivering Shibashi Qigong, ensured carers could access vital advice and wellbeing support wherever they were, offering both practical guidance and opportunities to pause and recharge. But Carers Week is more than a series of events, it’s a reminder of a much bigger message. 👉 Unpaid carers are the backbone of our communities 👉 Supporting carers is not just a community responsibility but a business one too Many carers are balancing employment alongside their caring roles. By recognising their contributions and creating supportive, flexible environments, businesses can play a critical role in improving wellbeing, retention and inclusion in the workplace. This week has shown what’s possible when organisations, partners and communities come together with a shared purpose. To every carer thank you. Your resilience, compassion and dedication do not go unnoticed. Let’s continue the conversation and ensure carers feel seen, supported and valued all year round. If you’re an employer and would like to find out more about supporting unpaid carers in your workforce please get in touch. #CarersWeek2026 #GloucestershireCarersHub #PeoplePlus #SupportingCarers #WorkplaceWellbeing #CommunityImpact #UnpaidCarers
