If you care, we care.
We provide support, information and advice to carers of any age living in Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
Help for carers
A carer is someone who provides support to family or friends who cannot manage without this help. Anybody from any background and of any age can be a carer and each carer’s experience is unique to their own circumstances.
Carers Support offers free support to carers in the Bristol and South Gloucestershire areas. Our vision is to create a better life for carers of all ages where they are recognised, valued and supported in their caring role and empowered to fulfil their own aspirations.
Advice and support
We offer a range of services to help support you in your caring role including helping you get a Carers Assessment and providing support and wellbeing groups. Or get advice on a range of topics including benefits and finance, work and learning, legal and carers rights, taking a break and more.
Use our Carers Breaks Directory to find the break that suits your situation
Whether that’s time for yourself, support for your cared-for, or something you can enjoy together.
Help for young carers
We offer help and support to children aged 8-18 in South Gloucestershire and 5-18 in Bristol. This includes one-one support, groups, fun activities and short breaks!
