Want to help change the lives of unpaid carers this June?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why not host a tea party during Carers Week (10th-16th June), or another time during the month of June, to raise money for local charity, Crossroads Care?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

What impact would my fundraising have? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

If you raised just \u00a354 that would provide, for example, two full hours of respite care \u2014 giving a carer who is looking after a loved-one of any age and disability a vital break.<\/p>\n

Interested but not sure what you need to do?\u00a0 <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It couldn\u2019t be simpler, invite some friends over for a tea party \u2014 a cup of tea with maybe a slice of cake \u2014 and ask them for a donation to our charity in return. Maybe ask them to donate \u00a35 for a cup of tea or coffee or \u00a310 for a cup of tea with a slice of cake \u2014 no obligation, give what you can!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019d like, you could even make the cake. We can highly recommend a specially themed Carer\u2019s Cake with Lemon and Thyme – Thyme for Courage, Strength and Sacrifice and Lemon for Longevity, Love, Purification and Friendship \u2013 all the elements hard working carers give every day.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m having a tea party to raise funds for my local charity Crossroads Care during Carer\u2019s week. I\u2019ll be serving tea\/cake for a small donation (\u00a35\/10) with the aim of raising enough to provide 2 hours of respite care \u2014 giving a carer who is looking after a loved one of any age and disability a vital break. Please come to [insert location and time] and enjoy a chat and a cuppa while supporting a great local cause.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Interested to know more about our charity \u2026here\u2019s the impact we\u2019ve had on one user:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI used to believe that no one could look after my child with complex care needs like we do. But over 12 years ago, when Crossroads Care came into our lives, I readdressed those thoughts\u2026 I cannot recommend Crossroads Care highly enough and we are forever grateful. Thank you for caring for us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s also 50 years this year since the first Crossroads Care was established (by the way, it\u2019s a great origin story<\/a>!) so raise a cup of tea also in celebration of this birthday milestone!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
