The Safe at Home Gloucestershire county scheme was officially launched in September at an event held in Swindon Village, Cheltenham. More than 100 guests attended the event to hear about the new services available to assist older, vulnerable and disabled people to live more independently at home in the county.
Paul Riddick, Partnership Manager for the Mears Safe at Home service said, 'we were delighted to have welcomed people from across the county who work together with us to help the people of Gloucestershire."
