National Gardens Scheme & Crossroads Care

Crossroads Care is Britain’s leading provider of support for carers and the people they care for. We work with over 35,000 individuals and their families, helping carers make a life outside of caring. We employ over 5,000 trained professionals, providing flexible services to people of all ages and with a range of disabilities and health conditions.

As a charity, we care for people not for profit. Our Carer Support Staff love their work. They understand what carers, and those they care for, need and feel. They know the simple things that really matter, they do the hard jobs with a smile and they take pleasure in fitting into family life. It’s no surprise then, that Crossroads staff build long and trusted relationships and that more people turn to us for support than to any other social care provider.

NGS makes a major contribution to the work of Crossroads Care and has done so for many years.

Anne Roberts, Crossroads Care CEO, says:- Our relationship with the National Gardens Scheme is very important to us - over the years their support has enabled us to focus on providing resources and guidance to Crossroads Care network to improve the lives of carers and the people they care for. It is absolutely fantastic that, with their continued support we will now be able to establish a development fund that will mean more carers can have that vital break from their caring responsibilities.
Crossroads Care ...the people carers turn to
