BS3 Carers Day: A successful event for carers

1st March 2025

Carers Support Bristol and South Gloucestershire, Sirona Care and Health and BS3 Community recently hosted the BS3 Carers Day. The day offered an opportunity for carers to access valuable information and support, while also participating in a range of activities.

The event featured:

• Information stands offering essential resources and support for carers
• Activities for carers and the person they care for, ensuring everyone could take part
• A fully accessible venue, ensuring ease of access for all attendees

Carmen, from Carers Support Bristol and South Gloucestershire, reflected: “We were absolutely delighted with how the day went. It was a busy and productive event, with Susy leading a workshop for carers. We were able to connect with many hidden carers, signposting them to support services. I was also able to gather enough interest from carers to set up a local Walk and Talk group. It was a wonderful opportunity to network with other organisations and engage with local social prescribers, helping us to strengthen the support available for carers.”

The event proved to be an excellent opportunity for unpaid carers to find support, share experiences, and connect with others in the community. We were thrilled to see so many carers attend and actively engage with the services and resources on offer.
