Crossroads Care is positioned strategically across the boroughs of Richmond and Kingston upon Thames. We work with all other voluntary and statutory services and strive to meet the needs of carers and the people they care for. This includes identifying specific \u2018hidden\u2019 and \u2018hard to reach\u2019 groups within our local community.<\/p>\n

\"\"Our support services have never been more essential, and we have worked hard to adapt and continually risk-assess to meet local need and demand. Thanks to continued core funding from London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and local charities the Hampton Fund, Richmond Parish Lands Charity and The Barnes Fund, we are also able to provide specialist outreach and community services that help meet local demographics and need.<\/p>\n

Our community services offer safe, supportive, confidential and specialist environments which are tailored to meet particular needs. Each group offers specialist advice, assists to develop friendships and support networks, aims to reduce social isolation and the negative impact caring has on mental and physical well-being, as well as increasing awareness and coping strategies.<\/p>\n

Our project staff and volunteers bring a wide range of experience and knowledge to the team and specific projects. They support our organisation through our outreach community-based projects, office administration and bespoke work.<\/p>\n

Our Saturday Club for children with special educational needs and disabilities has been running in Hampton for more than 20 years. Our aim is to provide a safe, social and interactive environment for children and young people aged 8-18 years.<\/p>\n

This club, which runs for 3.5 hours, provides unpaid carers (parent carers, siblings etc) with an essential break from their caring role. It allows them to spend quality time alone, take time out, attend appointments, participate in activities or spend time with their partners.<\/p>\n

A fun, safe and stimulating environment for children and young people, the activities, which are tailored to their needs include street dance, karate (including grading) and other sports, cookery sessions, art and games as well as seasonal pantomime trips and outings.<\/p>\n

Children and young people are able to spend time at a \u201cclub of their own\u201d while parent carers get a break.<\/p>\n

Funded by Richmond Foundation, Hampton Fund and The Barnes Fund.<\/p>\n
