B&NES Parent Carer Forum

The B&NES Parent Carer Forum is a CIC run by parent carers of children and young people from birth to 25 yrs living in BANES.

Through feedback and consultations with parent carers, we work in partnership with service commissioners and providers to help advocate for and raise the voice of parents and carers.

Off The Record BANES

Off the Record Bath and North East Somerset (OTR) improves the emotional health and wellbeing of young people. We want every young person in Bath and North East Somerset and beyond to be emotionally healthy, confident and empowered in themselves.
We provide a range of free, confidential and independent services for anyone aged 10-25 living, working or studying in BaNES, including counselling, listening support, youth participation, advocacy, social prescribing, support for care leavers and a LGBTQ+ focused youth group.
In 2024 we launched our Listening Services hub session in Twerton, every Thursday evening. We’re working with Youth Connect, and delivering counselling and listening support from the Southside Youth Centre. This is part of a wider strategic goal for OTR to be making sure our work is accessible to young people living in Twerton and Whiteway, and we’re keen to explore other opportunities that can help us to do that.
If you’d like some support on Thursdays, please complete a referral form on our website here Listening Services — Off The Record BaNES (offtherecord-banes.co.uk).

Bath Community Kitchen

Bath Community Kitchen believe that cooking and sharing food is one of the most powerful therapeutic and educational tools to improve mental and physical wellbeing.

Our weekly communal meals in Twerton include a popular Wednesday lunch club with Timebank Plus and a free, 3-course dinner every Thursday at the Lighthouse Centre. With Youth Connect South West, we’re also running a 12-week chef training course for young people interested in  hospitality.

Our vision is for more people in Bath to have opportunities to cook and eat together, to have access to delicious, healthy and affordable food, and be equipped with the skills to cook well for themselves, creating lasting change in our community.

We can also cater at your events!
