OUR SERVICES


Crossroads Care Richmond and Kingston upon Thames offers multiple services for the carers and they people they care for. 

Children's Services

Our highly skilled, trained and experienced Care Support Workers take over the caring role and always go the extra mile. They understand the needs of Carers and the people they care for and take pleasure fitting into the family. It is no surprise that Crossroads Staff builds long and trusted relationships, and more people turn to us for support than any other social care provider.

In order to maximise the benefits of a respite break, each package of care is personalised. We are one of the few care providers where family Carers do not have to remain in the home during times of care. This may or may not include looking after the whole family unit.

Community Services

Our support services have never been more essential, and we have worked hard to adapt and continually risk assess to meet local need and demand. Thanks to continued core funding from London Borough of Richmond upon Thames and local charities Hampton Fund, Richmond Parish Lands Charity and Barnes Fund, we are also able to provide specialist outreach and community services that help meet local demographics and need.

Our community services offer safe, supportive, confidential and specialist environments which are tailored to meet particular needs. Each group offers specialist advice, assists to develop friendships and support networks, aims to reduce social isolation and the negative impact caring has on mental and physical well-being, as we as increasing awareness and coping strategies.

Our project staff and volunteers bring a wide range of experience and knowledge to the team and specific projects. They support our organisation through our outreach community-based projects, office administration and bespoke work.

Due to COVID-19: while our core contractual and charitable respite visits for Carers of all ages continues, following government guidelines and in line with our policy framework, insurances and risk assessments, we are continually amending and adapting all our services, particularly our community services. In line with regulations we are offering small group and online sessions. We are currently accepting new referrals for:
