"We provide trusted information, advice and support to anyone looking after their loved ones in B&NES"
Who We Help, Why We Help & the Difference It Makes
We are a local charity dedicated to supporting the thousands of people caring for their loved ones in Bath and the surrounding areas.
We provide trusted information, advice and support to anyone looking after their loved ones in Bath and North East Somerset (B&NES). We help people of all ages and at any stage in their caring role.
We
enable people to improve their health and wellbeing by connecting them to
others, and by helping them to take control of their caring role. We strive to
work with our wider community to improve recognition and support for unpaid
carers.
Why
we're here
We are here for the friends and families
helping their loved ones get
the best out of life.
Looking after a partner, friend or family member due to old age, illness, disability, mental health problem or an addiction can be a very rewarding experience. However, without the right support in place it can take a toll on our physical and mental wellbeing.
What
we do
We work to improve the lives of unpaid
carers across B&NES. We do this by supporting carers of all ages to have
what they need to stay well, in control and feel connected.
This means listening to carers, amplifying their voices and putting them at the heart of our work. It’s providing free wellbeing activities so they can take some time away from their caring role. It’s helping them navigate a complex health and social care system, offering financial guidance and employment advice. It’s giving them a safe and supportive space to come together.
What
we want to achieve
We’re here for carers, but to be
sustainable for the next generation of carers we need to work together.
Three in five of us will care for someone
during our lifetime, and it is likely we all know someone who is caring right now.
Caring is everybody’s business.
Carers of today and tomorrow need to be recognised, valued and supported by decision-makers, professionals and those around them. We can’t do this without the help of our supporters and volunteers.
