If you are just getting started as a carer, or are an experienced carer looking for additional support, please check the organisations on this webpage. They can provide you with additional details around financial support, support groups, and local services available in the North Somerset area.
In partnership with the Carers Partnership Board, we have also created handbooks to guide you as you get started in this process.
The Alliance Homes website has details of services they can offer for adult and young carers, as well as access to volunteer opportunities to provide support to carers in your community.
You can also see our guidance video on this page to get you started finding support as a carer.
Other services may also be available. If you would like further information, please contact Care Connect and ask to speak to the Carers’ Service at the Single Point of Access.
Caring for someone can cause financial pressure and stress. Please see the GOV.UK for more information on what help and support is available.
To check benefit entitlement eligibility, you can contact the Citizens Advice Bureau.
Unpaid carers in North Somerset can also access a free online application called Rally Round.
Rally Round lets you set up and invite people to join an online network of support. You can then post tasks and people can offer to help.
