We are really pleased to announce that Homeshare West has extended its service to cover Gloucestershire after a smooth transition from Age UK Gloucestershire, which provided a Homeshare service until recently. The expansion means people in the county can continue to benefit from the unique support we provide.

Homeshare West has been supporting local communities for over 24 years covering Bristol, Bath & NE Somerset, North Somerset, South Gloucestershire and now Gloucestershire.

Homesharing is a beautifully simple idea. Homeshare West matches those needing practical support to remain living independently at home with carefully vetted adults who are looking for low cost accommodation. We put a lot of time and effort into bringing the right people together to create long lasting arrangements. Our householders say it’s really comforting to know there’s someone in the house overnight, and it’s lovely to have company and help around the home.

Continuing Intergenerational Support

The Directors at Homeshare West, Ramona Amuza and Audrey Heard, add:

“We look forward to expanding our service and continuing the highly valued work initiated by Age UK Gloucestershire. In reducingloneliness, giving security and practical support, Homesharing creates life-enhancing opportunities for both householders andsharers. We aim to build strong connections with local communities to ensure Homeshare continues to have a positive impact.

Age UK Gloucestershire played a crucial role in establishing Homeshare in the area and we are grateful for their dedicated work. Alan Inman-Ward, AUKG CEO, shared: “We are incredibly proud of the work we have done to establish Homeshare in Gloucestershire. In passing the baton to Homeshare West, we are confident this vital service will continue to grow and thrive, supporting even more people across the county.”
