What is Highbridge and Burnham Carers

Highbridge and Burnham micro-providers is a project run by locals for locals. Community organisations, businesses and residents have come together to build a network of people who care about and care for those that live within our communities. Together we are forming community cohesion and ensuring those that live amongst us that need a little bit of help, gain it from local  people. 

We are a local network of micro-providers  of care and support services in and around Highbridge, Burnham and the surrounding villages. This might include services and support that offer people help to:

· assist with their personal care

· co- manage their home or garden

· support with things like shopping, hospital, trips finances etc

· Meeting friends, pursuing hobbies, companionship

We look to build a team of volunteers for both simple office tasks and befriending activities

We are also engaging with other compatible organisations.

If you or someone you know, is in need of help and support, please telephone or visit us at The Portakabin, at the Morland Hub Community Hub, Pearce drive off Morland road, Highbridge, TA9 3FU.  Monday to Friday 11am  - 4pm

 Highbridge and Burnham network is a source of information about what might suit a client or clients family best,  for their package of care .The client can then make a decision as to the best course of action for their care needs.

The local network is not a managed care service and is not legally responsible for the care and support you receive or the actions of any provider. Although ,as a network we do our own checks with micro-providers, in order for them to be able to be in the network and have access to work. It is down to the client or family to make sure they also ask the micro-provider to provide necessary documentation. Clients should control their own care package as they will be the employer. Micro-providers do not control in any way care packages.

By using  a Highbridge and Burnham micro-provider, you can be assured that the care provider is safe and legal and have all the up to date certificates and paperwork in order.

The micro-provider will provide services to the client, as agreed. 

Times and schedules can then be created.

At Highbridge and Burnham Network, we are guided by the local council with regard to a level of quality assurance. We are well established and have a reputation for quality person centred care.
