This week is National Employability Week (6th-10th July 2026), led by the charity EmployabilityUK. Each year it brings together businesses, schools, colleges and communities to celebrate talent and tackle the barriers young people face when stepping into the world of work. This year the week has gone national for the first time, with the National Employability Conference held in Birmingham on Wednesday 8th July. It runs alongside Youth Employment Week, the annual campaign led by Youth Employment UK, which shares the same dates and the same purpose: connecting young people with the employers, educators and opportunities that can shape their working lives. Today's Youth Employment Week theme is Opportunity for All, and that is exactly what this article is about.

As part of Active April, carers across Gloucestershire came together with our Carers Hub on Wednesday 15 April to enjoy our Carers Active Together sessions. Set in the beautiful surroundings of Gloucester Docks and Westonbirt Arboretum, the sessions offered carers and those they support the chance to get moving, connect with others, and focus on wellbeing in a relaxed and welcoming environment. From gentle walks to simply enjoying time outdoors, these shared experiences highlighted the power of coming together to reduce isolation, build connections and support both physical and mental health. Thank you to everyone who took part – we’re excited to create more opportunities for carers to stay active together.
