A big win for carers in Bristol

14th March 2024

On March 12th, Bristol City Council carried forward its Caring Economy motion.

Following this motion, the Council has committed to:

• Focus and invest in childcare infrastructures within local and regional strategic plans, protect maintained nurseries and early years education;
• Make provisions to support carers, care workers, and those who may be cared for, adopting the asks of the Value the Caring Economy campaign.

This is an exciting success for the Value the Caring Economy campaign, formed by an alliance of local organisations and charities, and spearheaded by Bristol Women’s Voice.
