Most of us juggle busy lives, but for carers, providing support for a relative, partner or friend, the pressures can be enormous. More than six million people, including 175,000 young carers under the age of 18, give their time in this way - that's one in eight people in the UK. read more

What happens when I contact Crossroads?
You can contact us directly or ask a your community Nurse or GP to make a referral. You can also request a Carers Assessment from Social Services.
We accept referrals from both social services and self funding individuals.
Our Care Coordinators will then arrange to visit to assess your individual needs. Each family can then be matched to a suitable carer support worker who, as far as possible, becomes the regular carer support worker for that family.
Contact us to find out how to access a FREE three month trial of respite care, through the Early Intervention Scheme, funded by Essex County Council.
