We're passionate about delivering tailored solutions to caregivers' unique challenges, striving for meaningful, positive impacts.
“The information that I received helped me make decisions regarding my future as a carer and that of my mother's treatment. You can never have enough advice and support in these circumstances.”
“Just wanted to say how hugely helpful and constructive you were in our phone conversation. It was such a relief to be able to talk to someone who just seems to get it, whilst offering concrete advice and a lot of support and validation.”
“I go to this group knowing that for a short time I don’t have to worry about what I say that I won't be negatively judged, and that other people have the same emotions, struggles and fears as I do.”
“I feel I am in a much better place now, the structured sessions with my counsellor really helped me to take time out each week for myself.”
David* had been referred to both the counselling and befriending services for support as he had become very isolated in his caring role and was struggling to manage his partner's extreme emotions and anxiety.
“Yesterday I felt overwhelmed with caring responsibilities. Today I feel much more positive after going on the walk, enjoying nature and speaking with other carers.”
“Thank you – I don't think I have had such comprehensive advice since I became my sister’s carer in 2019."
“The support has made such a difference. Kierah now feels part of something that is rewarding. It gives her a break from caring and she meets others in similar situations; so, she knows she’s not alone.”
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.
We offer services to carers of all ages in Bristol and South Gloucestershire. All our services are free.
