You’re Invited: Carers Rights Day Event – Thursday 20 November

9th September 2025

We’re delighted to invite you to our Carers Rights Day celebration—an uplifting and informative day designed with you in mind. Whether you’re new to caring or have been supporting someone for years, this event is a chance to connect with others who understand, learn more about your rights, and take a well-earned break.

Thursday 20 November

BAWA Health and Leisure, 589 Southmead Rd, Bristol, BS34 7RG

10:00am – 2:30pm

This year’s theme is Breaks—reflecting what carers have told us matters most. According to Carers UK’s State of Caring 2024 report, the lack of regular, affordable breaks is one of the biggest challenges carers face, often leading to burnout and poor wellbeing. We’ll be exploring this issue together and sharing practical ways to access support. 
 
What to expect: 

• Talks from our Carers Voice Team 
• Workshops from Bristol and South Gloucestershire Councils 
• Presentations from relevant community groups 
• Carers Breaks Fair
• A light lunch and time to chat with other carers
• An optional wellbeing session in the afternoon to help you unwind 

Booking is essential, and places fill up fast. To reserve your spot, please contact us with your name, contact details, number of places, dietary needs, and whether you’d like to join the wellbeing session.
