In its 25th year, Bath and North-East Somerset Carers’ Centre’s work is to support unpaid carers and help both adults and young carers in achieving their vision of a community where unpaid carers of today and tomorrow are fully recognised, valued and supported.
They support about 3,500 of the 25,000 unpaid carers that are in the local authority district of Bath and North East Somerset through a variety of services. These include wellbeing activities, Carer Cafés, a Support Line, and activities tailored to young carers. One of their key priorities going forward is to extend their reach to support more Carers within Bath and North East Somerset as statutory services continue to rely on their invaluable support to meet the increasing health and care needs of many individuals within our communities.
It is an exciting and challenging time to join Bath and North East Somerset Carers’ Centre. Trustees and Staff have carefully and emphatically navigated the many challenges of Covid to continue delivering services that are timely, accessible, and meaningful to both Young Carers and Adult unpaid carers. As they move forward the voice of unpaid carers will remain at the heart of all they do.
