You found a pebble!

Thank you for scanning the QR code on the back of your pebble - you've taken the first stepping stone to supporting a truly important local charity supporting thousands of people looking after their loved ones.

Across Bath and North East Somerset, approximately 20,000 individuals look after their family and friends who require a little extra support and care as a result of either a disability, an addiction, mental illness, poor health or simply a result of getting older. Unpaid carers adapt their lives, often at a cost to their own health, wellbeing or finances, in order to proudly care for those in their circle.

Heading here and reading on is your first step in making a big difference to their lives.

Here at The Carers' Centre we provide essential support services to empower unpaid cares to successfully manage their lives and make a positive impact for them selves and those around them. We offer a free support line for carers to access advice and guidance from our specially trained team, ready and willing to offer a listening ear and practical advice that can improve their lives. Carers have the opportunity to take part in a variety of free wellbeing activities and trips throughout the year, enabling them to take a break from their relentless caring role. Our Carer Café programme provides the space to be amongst others who understand what it's like.

We want to reach as many unpaid carers as possible - but we need your help! Choose a new place to put your pebble for someone to find. Feel free to take a photo of where you found the pebble or where you moved it to, and the post it on socials and tag us on Facebook @banescarerscentre or by using the #PebblesForCarers. You can find our social links at the bottom of this page.

By supporting us and helping to spread the word, you may have just changed someone's life for the better.
