Welcome
Thank you so much for scanning the QR code to learn more about Crossroads Care Surrey, the charity for unpaid carers.
We are delighted to meet you!
We understand the love and sacrifice that unpaid carers give every day. Our mission is to offer them much-needed breaks, giving them a few hours of respite to recharge. Our services; respite care, companionship, end-of-life support and emergency care, are vital in preventing burnout.
We support over 3,500 unpaid carers each year. While donations are appreciated, your connection means the world to us.
Please join our mailing list to stay in touch and help us reach more people.
There’s a real need for our work in the community. A recent survey of the unpaid carers we support showed 8 in 10 spend over 40 hours a week caring for a loved one, and 6 in 10 say what they need most is a break.
Jane, 81, knows this well. As her husband Patrick’s unpaid carer, she’s been by his side through Parkinson’s and dementia. She explains that “even in her dreams” she is on constant alert. Thanks to our respite breaks, Jane can enjoy activities she loves while knowing Patrick is in safe hands. It gives her the peace of mind to care for her own health too. In her words, our support “keeps me sane.”
