How else is your Council changing lives?

The Council and NHS Bath & North East Somerset work together in a Health and Well-being Partnership to provide services for local people. We also work with Somer Community Housing trust to provide the Community Resource Centres.

1,373 vulnerable people have been given protection and independence thanks to the council's community alarm network which provides a 24-hour care service should they have an accident at home. Find out more.

Every year around 295 elderly people receive high level care to give them the best opportunities for the future at the Council's three state of the art community resource centres. Find out more

More than 250 people a year are supported through our Home Care Team re-enablement service to regain daily living skills and confidence following, for example, a long stay in hospital. Find out more

86,000 meals are delivered by the council each year to older and vulnerable people in the community giving them independence at home and contributing to a healthy diet. Find out more.

The Council and its partners want to change lives by improving quality of life and developing sustainable communities now and in the future.
