In the show, Meg Richardson (Noele Gordon), cared for her disabled son Sandy at home. This storyline provoked a lot of interest from real carers as it highlighted the lack of support for unpaid people who were also looking after loved ones.<\/p>\n In 1973, local Rugby man, Noel Crane, who was being cared for by his mother, saw the programme and wrote to the producer, ATV, complimenting them on their portrayal of the needs of someone with a disability. ATV took him on as an adviser on disability issues and shared his concerns about the lack of support for people, such as his mother, whose life had undergone significant change as a result of his accident.<\/p>\n In 1974, ATV donated \u00a310,000 to set up a pilot project in Rugby, Warwickshire, with the aim of supporting carers in a practical way.<\/p>\n This became the first branch of\u00a0<\/span>Crossroads Care<\/strong>. In the first year of operation, Crossroads Care supported 26 families. By 2012, Crossroads Care was supporting over 43,000 carers and their families through a network of local Crossroads Care schemes.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_divider color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_blurb title=”What We Do” content_max_width=”1100px” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|800|||||||” header_font_size=”30px” hover_enabled=”0″ header_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_font_size_phone=”18px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Crossroads Care Richmond and Kingston upon Thames has been providing bespoke, high quality home and community projects and respite services in Richmond and Kingston for over 35 years.<\/p>\n Our team are not volunteers; they are highly trained, paid and experienced care support workers dedicated to delivering the very highest standard of care and services.<\/p>\n We care for babies, children, young people, adults and the elderly with all health and social care conditions and needs, including specialist, complex care and support services.<\/p>\n Subject to an assessment:<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_divider color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_blurb title=”Vision, Mission & Values” content_max_width=”1100px” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|800|||||||” header_font_size=”30px” hover_enabled=”0″ header_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_font_size_phone=”18px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Crossroads Care Richmond and Kingston upon Thames is committed to providing a practical and emotional support in the home and community in order to enable carers to have a break from their caring responsibilities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_divider color=”#000000″ _builder_version=”4.19.5″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_blurb title=”Philosophy of Care” content_max_width=”1100px” _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” header_font=”|800|||||||” header_font_size=”30px” hover_enabled=”0″ header_font_size_tablet=”30px” header_font_size_phone=”18px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Crossroads Care Richmond and Kingston upon Thames respects the individuality of carers and those with care needs, and seeks to promote their choice, independence, dignity and safety.
