Have a say on Wiltshire's Adult Social Care! Our Wiltshire

Have your say on Adult Social Care in Wiltshire
Help shape the future of Adult Social Care by sharing your views in a short survey. https://orlo.uk/1OSTN

Adult Social Care supports people who may need extra help because of age, disability, illness, mental health needs, caring responsibilities or other circumstances, helping them stay safe, well and independent for as long as possible.

Whether you're someone who uses services, an unpaid carer, a family member, or simply interested in Adult Social Care, we want to hear from you. Your feedback will help shape the values and behaviours that guide our services and ensure they continue to reflect what matters most to local people.

The survey closes on 17 August 2026.

Supporting unpaid Carers in Wiltshire - Our Commitment

We are saddened to hear the news of the closure of Carer Support Wiltshire. We recognise the contribution they have made in supporting unpaid Carers across Wiltshire, and we know this announcement will be upsetting and unsettling for many Carers, families, staff, volunteers and partners.

Unpaid Carers play an essential role in our communities, and any loss of support services is felt keenly. We want Carers across Wiltshire to know that they are not alone during this time and that support remains available.

Carers Together Wiltshire continues to remain open to all unpaid Carers across the county. This includes our Carer Cafés, which are continuing as normal and provide welcoming, safe spaces for Carers to connect and receive support. You can find details of our Carer Cafés on our website. https://carerstogetherwiltshire.org.uk/events

We are committed to standing alongside Carers and ensuring they continue to have access to the help and understanding they deserve. Anyone who is worried about what this change means for them is encouraged to get in touch with us to find out how we can help.

We would like to acknowledge the dedication shown by the team at Carer Support Wiltshire, and the impact their work has had on so many Carers over the years.

Our message to Carers is simple: support is still here, and you do not have to face this alone.
