Celebrating carers, creating change

The Carers Support Bristol and South Gloucestershire Impact Report 2024–25 celebrates a year of partnership, resilience, and meaningful change for over 15,000 carers. It highlights how befriending, counselling, and respite services have improved wellbeing and reduced isolation, while initiatives like Carers Voice have influenced local policy and ensured carers’ experiences shape decision-making. The report also showcases the growth of the Walk and Talk and Young Carers programmes, empowering carers of all ages to connect, recover, and thrive. Despite growing pressures, the message is clear: when communities, funders, and partners work together, carers’ lives are transformed — and every act of support creates lasting impact.
