Helping young & adult Carers in North Somerset with practical and emotional support
We are here to support carers irrespective of what illness their loved one might suffer. Our key activities include a respite care scheme, young carers support groups and couselling service.
Why the community needs usCrossroads Care supports carers throughout the county to continue in their caring role - most carers have not chosen to become carers but are happy to take on the role often needing support and advice to enable them to do so.
We support carers from the age of 5 whose lives are impacted through caring.
Our impact on the communityOver 2800 people throughout the county receive a level of support from Crossroads and we have been able to build an excellent reputation often helping out where others haven't been able to, providing the much needed support for people to continue in their caring role.
North Somerset Crossroads (also known as Crossroads Care North Somerset) uses volunteers to support carers throughout all areas of the Organisation. Volunteers are often needed to support in the Day Centre, help at the Young Carers Support groups, drivers bringing people into the Day Centre, fundraising, running support groups, representing carers issues at statutory meetings, our counselling service uses volunteer qualified counsellors as well as office suppport being offered by volunteers
