Caring Together Charity has worked with Cambridgeshire County Council and Peterborough City Council to configure the platform to meet the needs of carers throughout the region.
Bridgit has been crafted by carers and care experts, specifically for those who juggle busy and often stressful lives. Its user-friendly interface ensures easy navigation, even for those with limited digital skills.
Bridgit automatically updates itself and streamlines all the information available to carers into one easy to use portal. It uses AI to create a bespoke experience for each user, meaning they don’t get swamped with irrelevant information. Bridgit can be used without having to create an account but there is an option for carers to sign up for fortnightly emails and there’s also a carer support coach you can contact via WhatsApp.
Carers can create their own self-help plan in seconds and find out how to get personal advice, find local events, support and services. Examples include how to get support in your caring role, carer assessments, care providers, emergency planning, end of caring role, how to manage work/life/carer balance, Carer’s Allowance, cost of living, mental health, and much more.
