Carers Support Centre

The Carers’ Support Centre provides a range of support services for unpaid carers. These include, but are not limited to Carersline, a telephone service which provides information and advice and acts as a referral point to services within the centre and outside agencies. There is one-to-one support and advocacy available to suit the individual needs of carers in both Bristol and South Glos. Each year the Centre holds events which coincide with the national carers week and our annual meeting in December, whilst Carers Groups and trips run throughout the year in both areas to offer carers peer support and time out. Our Young Carers Team provides individual, group and family support and activities to 80 young carers. In addition, the Trust works in partnership with statutory organisations and provides support to Carer Representatives, involved in influencing and directing policy in the two local areas.
