Crossroads Care (Birmingham & Solihull)

Crossroads Care (Birmingham & Solihull)                                                

Crossroads Care (Birmingham & Solihull) is affiliated to the national organisation,Crossroads Care which is named after Crossroads the soap!  The soap ran a story line that involved Meg Richardson, one of the main characters, caring at home for her son Sandy. The story aroused a lot of interest.
Due to correspondence from many real carers, ATV, the production company, donated £10,000 in 1974 to turn fiction into reality.  The first Crossroads scheme was in Rugby and supported 28 families.

There are now 200 Crossroads schemes; in fact Crossroads is the largest charity in the world providing care in the home to relieve carers.

All Crossroads schemes are charities set up to meet the needs of carers in their local area.  All the schemes are affiliated to National Crossroads Caring for carers.  Each scheme is a run by a Board of Trustees, who are all volunteers.

Crossroads Care (Birmingham & Solihull) provide a quality respite service so that carers who live in this area can take a break.  For more information, please call us or visit our website, www.xroadsbham.org.uk
