Crossroads Care, the charity that supports unpaid carers and their loved ones, of all ages and disability, urgently needs your help. Over two hundred people — often elderly with complex needs — are currently waiting for our bespoke home and community respite care services. Your support can make a real difference.
At 86, Ian cares full-time for his wife Ann, 82, who has advanced Alzheimer’s. Ian says: “There is no one to help me apart from Crossroads Care. They don’t just look after Ann—they support me too. Whenever Crossroads staff arrive, the stress leaves my shoulders.”
Fundraising and donations mean that carers like Ian can receive the vital help they need.
If you would like to support Crossroads, do consider joining one of our exciting fundraising initiatives taking place this year. Whether you’re looking to get fitter, spend more time with friends, or add a sense of purpose to your life, there’s something for everyone.
You could tackle the London Marathon, host a fundraising coffee morning with friends, or explore other ways to contribute. Every effort will help our charity to provide tailored home and community respite care and support to even more unpaid carers and their loved ones of all ages and disability.
Hold a Cuppa and Cake Event
The idea is simple: invite friends over for tea, coffee, and cake in exchange for a donation to Crossroads Care. Twickenham residents Rachel Smith and her husband, Crossroads patron Sir Vince Cable, (pictured here) hosted the first Crossroads Cake and Cuppa event last year, which was a huge success.
Get Running
This year, two people — including a long-term volunteer with the charity, 75-year-old Remo Grasso, — are running the London Marathon for Crossroads on 27th April.
For something more manageable, why not join the Crossroads Turks Head 10K team? This friendly, inclusive community event on 8th June features stalls and refreshments and is a great way to combine fitness with fun.
Your Fundraising, Your Way
Whether it’s shaving your beard off, going on a digital detox, or you have another creative idea, Crossroads welcomes fundraising ventures big and small, so do please get in touch with us, if you’d like to get involved.
