Trustees
The Board
The Charity is Strategically led by a dedicated group of individuals that give up their time for free to help. They meet every couple of months and we have been pleased that recently new Trustees have joined. We are still looking for Trustees that can add and complement the Board especially representing newer areas including Maldon, Southend, South Woodham Ferrers and Thurrock. If you are interested please contact the Company Secretary, Paul Ramsden, in the first instance on 01268 660860.Trustees/Directors

Chair
Stuart Blackshaw
I joined the Board of Castle Point Crossroads in 1996 after retiring from a career in teaching. I immediately began working on the Young Carers project with the Chairman in the hope that my contacts with local secondary schools would help Crossroads form a Young Carers Group. In 2001 I became Vice Chairman of the Board and in 2006 I became the Chairman.
