Other charities supporting carers
We are happy to be supporting carers in Surrey.
There are other organisations that can help you, in Surrey, in other counties, and nationally.
Take a look below.
In Surrey
Crossroads Care Surrey is a charity specialising in offering carers replacement care from trained staff, in order to give you a break, including support if you are looking after someone at the end of their life. They aim to offer a range of care for long or short periods (from 2 hours upwards) at an affordable cost, regularly or as a one-off and offer a limited amount of funded care for those who qualify.
- They also run a variety of social clubs for adults with disabilities (including dementia), allowing carers to have a break and the person they care for to enjoy themselves in a safe and welcoming setting.
- If you’re looking after a child, they also run a Saturday club in Walton for children with disabilities.
For more information, visit Crossroads Care Surrey. To arrange an assessment call them on 01372 869970 or email enquiries@crossroadscaresurrey.org.uk
Neighbouring counties
Although we can offer you advice and information, we can’t register you as a carer unless you live in Surrey. (The person you care for doesn’t have to live in Surrey though.)
