What is Purple Pages?
Purple Pages is one number that you can call to get information
about a large range of different groups, services and
organisations.
If you tell Purple Pages what you need - the kind of
services that you are looking for - they can signpost you to
people who can help.
Purple Pages does not offer counselling, advice or
practical help but they can give you information about people
who do.
Who Can Call?
The main target groups are disabled people, older people,
carers and their friends, family and professionals. The
information Purple Pages have is also useful for many
other people - if in doubt, please give them a call.
If they can't help, they know someone who can.
Purple Pages welcome enquiries from people living or working in
Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire and
North Somerset.

Will anyone know I've called?
The service is anonymous. We do not keep records of your name or
any other identifiable information that you might give us. If you
call 0808 808 5252, the call will not show up on your phone
bill.
Do you vet or check the services, organisations and groups that
you pass on?
No - the listing of a service does not mean that we recommend
it. We recommend that our users check out that services are
suitable for their needs and that they use them in a safe way.
Would you contact the services that I need?
No - we pass the information on to you. You can then choose the
services that you need and contact it yourself, as you know your
situation and needs best.
Can I make an appointment to see you?
We don't see people in person, but please call or email us. We
have an answer phone out of office hours.
