What we offer
We provide help and support to children aged 8-18 in South Gloucestershire and 5-18 in Bristol, their families and professionals working with young carers in Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
About the service
Young carers have the right, under the Carer Act 2014, to an assessment that will discuss the support needed.
We tailor support to meet young carers needs and can offer:
- An initial meeting, called an assessment, to help us understand the caring situation, find out what support would help and set up a support plan.
- Signposting to a range of information and support services
- 1-1 support sessions providing time to talk and make positive changes
- Group work (at the moment this includes Resilience Lab for mental health and well-being; themed group work helping specific experiences; and an ASD programme of three sessions for young carers caring for a sibling with ASD).
- Respite activities: including trips, creative, cookery, physical and nature-focused sessions.
- Free Family days out (free family passes to Wild Place, Puxton Park and Noah’s Arc)
- Local Young Carers groups in Bristol and South Gloucestershire.
