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.

Crossroads Care is supporting the Terminate the Rate campaign. Anne Roberts, Chief Executive, Crossroads Care: “No-one plans to become a carer, yet every year 2 million people find themselves in this role - supporting a relative or friend who is ill or disabled. Many carers tell us how difficult it can be to meet increasing living costs, to juggle work and care and to keep well themselves. It is vital that they have access to a wide range of support, and the telephone can be a lifeline - but an expensive one - so we at Crossroads Care are delighted to support the Terminate the Rate campaign. It is sending an important message and one that will benefit carers’ and the people they are caring for.”

Crossroads Care is encouraging all staff, carers and their families to sign the petition as this will make a real difference. The campaign has now reached over 114,000 signatures on the petition, surpassing its target of 100,000, and 260 MPs have signed the Early Day Motion – why don’t you sign up today?
