We’re here to make a difference to the lives of carers

We are a local charity dedicated to supporting the thousands of people caring for their loved ones in Bath and the surrounding areas

Our mission

We provide trusted information, advice and support to anyone looking after their loved ones in Bath and North East Somerset. We help young people from 5 years old and adults, at any stage in their caring role.

We enable people to improve their health and wellbeing by connecting them to others, and by helping them to take control of their caring role. We strive to work with our wider community to improve recognition and support for unpaid carers.
