Crossroads - Spelthorne Caring for Carers

Description

In Surrey there are over 100,000 people providing unpaid care for relatives or friends who have serious disabilities. Many of them are on call "24/7", sometimes for years on end. This can be a real drain on the carer's physical and mental health.

Crossroads Care Surrey is the leading charity providing support to carers in the county. A 'carer' is someone who looks after a relative or friend with a significant health condition or disability, ranging from an older person with dementia to a child with cerebral palsy.

Our aim is to give carers some precious time for themselves by providing them with regular breaks from their caring responsibilities.
