Services > Services by need > Carers

Guideposts run a number of services which provide support and social opportunity to people with caring responsibilities:

CONNECT at Home

CONNECT at Home

A friendly service for anyone looking for regular companionship, conversation and laughs, hobbies/activities, respite breaks, a listening ear or practical support with day to day living.

CONNECT Social Groups

Guideposts CONNECT social groups are dementia-friendly friendship and support groups in Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire for people living with long term health conditions, people caring for a relative or friend, and those looking to make new local friendships.
