Tucked away in a quiet part of Bath, the Wellbeing House, operated by local housing provider Curo, offers a calm, restorative space for adults facing emotional distress. Commissioned by Virgin Care on behalf of Bath & North East Somerset’s Community Health & Care Services, this unique service provides short-term support for those in need of a break — before things reach crisis point.
We are super proud that Suicide Prevention UK has been chosen as Curo’s Charity of the Year. This partnership means the world to us, and we’re thrilled to stand alongside an organisation so deeply committed to wellbeing in the community.
A Safe Space to Breathe and Rebuild
Set within an award-winning Victorian property, the Wellbeing House offers non-clinical support in a peaceful setting. Adults aged 18 and over can stay for up to seven days, with private ensuite bedrooms, shared living areas, and a calm environment ideal for reflection and self-care.
There is no pressure, no judgment, and no medical intervention — just space and kindness.
Who Can Access It?
This free service is open to individuals who:
- Live in the Bath & North East Somerset area

- Can manage their own self-care and meals

Please note, the Wellbeing House is not a substitute for crisis care or inpatient mental health services.
Gentle, Informal Support
While there are no clinical staff, the team offers gentle encouragement, emotional space, and informal support throughout the stay. The focus is on helping guests rebuild stability, restore calm, and explore coping strategies that they can take back into daily life.
Accessibility
The service also offers an accessible self-contained flat, ensuring that people with mobility needs are fully supported.
