Support that connects workplaces and communities

Give every employer a clear way to help.

Many managers want to support working carers but do not know what to say, what adjustments are possible or where local support begins. Bridgit gives them a practical starting point.

Help managers recognise caring pressures, hold supportive conversations and understand practical workplace options.

Private employee support

Give working carers a confidential place to explore money, wellbeing, rights, planning and local help.

Simple local referrals

Connect employees directly into the local carer service or further digital support when they choose.

Visible engagement

See which employers are active, how support is being used and where more promotion or help may be needed.
