Gloucestershire Equipment Loan Service

Helping you stay independent at home

The Gloucestershire Equipment Loan Service (GELS) provides free equipment to help residents live safely and independently at home—and to support carers too. The service is funded by Gloucestershire County Council and local NHS partners.

 How we're making the difference that matters:

  1. Assessment
    A healthcare professional will assess your needs.
  2. Ordering
    Once your needs are confirmed, they’ll place an order for the right equipment.
  3. Delivery & Setup
    Our friendly transport team will contact you to arrange delivery and fitting.

What we provide

We loan a wide range of equipment, including:

  • Hospital Beds
  • Hoists
  • Shower chairs
  • Walking frames

And much more.
