Each of us will care for a friend or family member at some point in our lives, or be cared for ourselves.
This is why our service is so vitally important; it plays a role in everyone's life at some stage.
We are working hard to make sure that carers in Bath and North East Somerset are fully recognised, valued and supported in society.
But we can’t do this alone.
Volunteers are essential to what we do. They offer their amazing skills to help us deliver life-changing services and they make a huge difference to the local community. Some volunteers are carers themselves, others are former carers who want to give something back to the community that supported them through their caring journey. Others may not have any caring experience yet, but appreciate the toll looking after another person could have upon a person.
Whatever your background, we know you have valuable skills you can bring to the role, and we'd love to welcome you into our community. In return, our volunteers learn new skills, build life-long friendships, gain improved confidence and wellbeing, and get to give back to the community.
If you are ready to get involved, please get in touch with Jo, our Volunteer Officer, to begin your volunteering journey.
Volunteer roles
We understand that everyone thrives in different settings. Some are natural leaders, driven by delivering activities and helping others learn a new skill. Others prefer to offer calm conversation, are avid listeners and feel comfortable providing a safe space for others to share their experiences. Many love the idea of supporting young carers to take a break from their caring role, a role that often rests a heavy burden upon their young shoulders.
