Reading Crossroads
Caring for Carers

Reading Crossroads is committed to providing practical support in the home in order to enable carers to have a break from their caring responsibilities. In providing this service to carers, Reading Crossroads may provide a personal care service to people with care needs (service user) and will ensure that the provision of such personal care is user lead.

Charitable object:- To relieve the stresses experienced by carers, and children and adults who have care needs as a result of disability, illness or age, by offering a respite service through the provision of community based support workers.

Mission Statement:- Crossroads promotes, offers, supports and delivers high quality services for carers and people with care needs.

In Reading we currently provide over 700 hours of care per week, either by visiting carers in their own homes and staying with the person they care while they go out, or by people attending one of the five social day care clubs that we run.
