The Carers’ Centre, Bath and North East Somerset

We provide trusted information, advice and support to unpaid carers of all ages. This enables them to improve their health and wellbeing, take control of their caring role and connect with others who understand.

If you look after someone, we are here for you.

Caring for our friends and family is a rewarding experience, but it can also be very challenging. It can be difficult to know what support is available and where to turn.

We provide free services to unpaid carers of any age, across Bath and North East Somerset. You can access:

Support Line

Wherever someone is in their caring journey, our friendly team can provide support and trusted information.

Wellbeing activities

We offer a range of free wellbeing activities for carers. From our popular craft courses to our supportive Carer Cafés, there is something for everyone.

Employment programme

Whether you’re already in employment or are seeking a new role, we’re on hand to explain your workplace rights and offer one-to-one advice.

Grant application and financial guidance

We can help you find the financial support available to you and guide you through application processes.
