What is enablement?

Our Enablement Service supports adults in Gloucestershire to live independently and safely in their own homes and communities.

We work with people who may need extra help with everyday tasks, building confidence, or staying connected to the people and places that matter to them.

Enablement is short-term, practical support designed to help you do more for yourself. Support is usually provided for up to six months, based on what you need and want to achieve.

We offer practical, emotional and wellbeing support, depending on your needs.  We focus on helping you:

  • maintain your independence
  • build confidence
  • improve your wellbeing
  • develop everyday life skills.
