We want to say a BIG thank you to all those who came along to our first ever BS3 Carer’s Day on 26th February! ❤️️
It was a heartwarming and empowering event. Hosted in partnership with Sirona care & health CIC, the event brought together carers from across the South Bristol community, offering them a chance to connect, unwind, and access valuable support.
Attendees were treated to a range of enriching activities, including an indoor gardening workshop with Alive Activities, a joyful ‘singing for the brain’ session led by Alzheimer's Society, a gentle seated yoga class with Nicola of Lotus Yoga, and relaxing hand massages from Cecilia of Opal Treatments.
For those seeking peer support, Carers Support Bristol and South Gloucestershire hosted a private group session, allowing carers to share their experiences in a safe and understanding space.
And of course, no celebration is complete without good food! Thanks to generous donations from Cakesmiths and Asda, guests indulged in delicious cakes and bakes, along with a free hot lunch provided by BS3 Community Café.
BS3 Carers Day also served as a platform to showcase our growing innovative BS3 Community Care service. This initiative is designed to match local independent care professionals and personal assistants (PAs) with those in need within the local community. A key component of this service is offering crucial support for carers, including respite care, befriending, companionship, and other essential services, all provided by trusted local care professionals and PAs.
