Crossroads Tendring & Colchester
Caring for Carers and the People they Support

Are you an unpaid carer in need of a little support?

Crossroads Tendring & Colchester provides regular short breaks to carers who would like a little time to themselves.

Our trained community support staff will come into your home and take care of the person you are caring for a few hours each week to give you a break.

We work in the community and cover the whole of Tendring & Colchester District. We deliver over 40 000 care hours a year. Crossroads provide the special quality of care that gives carers peace of mind to let someone else step in their shoes.

Who is a carer?

A carer is someone who, without payment provides help and support to a partner, child, relative, friend or neighbour who could not manage without their help.

This could be due to age, a physical or mental illness or disability. If you are a carer or know someone that is, then call us for advice.

Our objectives

Our objectives are to help relieve the physical and emotional stress experienced by those that provide unpaid care to individuals affected by illness or disability.

We aim to help individuals avoid admission to hospital or residential care, by offering carers a break.
