Why we're here

Looking after someone due to old age, illness, disability, mental health difficulties or an addiction can be very rewarding, but can also take a toll on our physical and mental wellbeing.

We provide a lifeline for the friends and families helping their loved ones get the best out of life.

We offer opportunities to help you focus on your own health and wellbeing, connect you to others in a similar situation and we are on hand to help you navigate the challenges of caring.

Bridgit Care

We have launched a new self-help service to support unpaid adult carers. It’s called Bridgit Care (or ‘Bridgit’ for short) and is designed to make your life easier – because we know that caring for someone you love can, at times, feel overwhelming.
