How does Bridgit help? 

Caring for someone can be challenging and overwhelming. Many Carers struggle to find the support they need to balance their responsibilities. Bridgit complements the existing support provided by the BCP Carer Support Service by helping Carers: 

• Reduce stress and better manage their caregiving duties 

• Access financial support and wellbeing resources 

• Stay informed about local services and events 

All of this can be found at a time that works for them!
