Please note that our waiting lists for Befriending and Mentoring for carers are currently closed. We are in the process of reviewing projects. Please continue to check this website for further updates.

Don’t forget we have CarersLine, our confidential information and support service for carers in Bristol and South Gloucestershire. We make time for everyone who contacts us and understand the difficulties that carers face.
CarersLine is open:
Monday to Friday: 10 am – 1 pm

(Closed on Bank Holidays)
0117 965 2200

An answerphone operates outside of these hours and your call will be returned when the helpline next opens.
Alternatively, use our contact form to receive a personal reply the same or the next working day.
