Support and Assistance for Caribbean, African & Asian Carers in Bristol
Bristol Black Carers is a multi award-winning charity committed to providing person-centred and holistic services.
Everything we do starts from a place of listening to our carers/service users to help them identify their needs. It can be as simple as letting them know that they are not alone and giving time for them to talk.
We are connected to a wide network of statutory and voluntary organisations that provide support and we are here to help you navigate through the different systems to access the relevant service/s you need.
Understanding the cultural background of our carers/service users is at the core of all that we deliver.
Are you looking after a family member or friend who has physical, medical or mental health challenges, or do you know someone who is?

Who is a Carer?
“A Carer is person who takes on the role to assist another person carry out activities, provide support emotionally, physically and financially because this person has a medical, physical or mental condition.
A Carer, can be either, employed, unemployed, retired, in or out of education.”
The word “Carer” in this context does not refer to anyone who is “paid” for providing care.
