Crossroads Care provides respite cover for full time carers in East Sussex, Brighton and Hove. We have a small office team who co-ordinate respite visits, provide telephone support carers and their loved ones and manage our dedicated workforce.
Our essential work, in providing respite support for carers, prevents carer breakdown and enables carers to continue to look after their loved ones at home in a loving and familiar environment.
As a small charity we have not had the funding to replace our office furniture for many years and are now working on wobbly desks with broken chairs. Our laptops and computers are also old and will not support Windows 11, which we must move to by October 2025.
The funds we have are used for us to provide free support for those unable to afford respite care, for vulnerable carers who require emergency cover or carers who find themselves in crisis and we do not want to have to divert these for other use, but we must find the money to replace our furniture as soon as we can, plus upgrade our laptops and computers prior to the end of Windows 10 support
We are therefore, hoping that you will chose to support us, so that we have the necessary resources to continue to support
