Our work in BuryIn the Bury Metropolitan area we currently support around 300 families and individuals providing them with over 60,000 hours of support each year, helping carers make a life of their own outside caring, but there is much more that we could do if we can raise the funds.Fighting Carer Burnout.At present there are many more Carers than there are resources for them to get a regular break, which is why so many Carers eventualy have to stop their caring role simply due to their own ill health. Crossroads aim is to provide support for Carers to stop them being overwhelmed by the stress of caring and to stop Carers burning out and becoming ill. Every penny we raise through supporters like you goes into the work of supporting Carers or the people they care for. This ranges from provide emergency care hours to support Carers in crisis, through to projects for people with dementia and their Carers. NationallyDid you know Crossroads Care is Britains leading provider of social care? In 2010/11 we provided 5,180,818 hours of care..that's the equivalent of >591 years of care! Who is a Carer?A carer is anyone who (unpaid) looks after a person, be that a family friend, child, or neighbour who is; disabled; ill with a life limiting illness; has a mental illness, or substance abuse problem,where that person could not manage without that support. Exhausted Carers need a break.A significant number of such Carers provide more than 50 hours of care every week, and without the services of Crossroads Care they may never get a regular break to have some time to themsevles. Many other Carers, who may not do as many hours each week, have been caring for someone seven days a week for up to 10 years or more. People not profitAs a charity, we care for people not for profit.Our Support Staff love their work, they understand what Carers and those they care for need. They know its the simple things that really matter, they do the unpleasant jobs with a smile and take pleasure in working hard to fit into family life.Thats why Crossroads Care are the people Carers turn to.Fully trained staff - Flexible serviceOur fully trained staff provide Carers with regular time to themselves, be that daily, overnight, weekly, or ad-hoc as required.

The Friends of Plas Dol y Moch is an exciting new charity set up to support young people from Coventry in participating in adventurous outdoor activities in North Wales. The Friends recognize the impact outdoor education has on the personal development of young people of all abilities and backgrounds. Plas Dol y Moch is an outdoor education centre located in the Snowdonia National Park. Young people from Coventry have been visiting the centre since it was established in 1996. The Friends charity will support all young people accessing the provision through bursaries and raise money for additional facilities and programmes. Recently, the Friends have raised funds for two Yurts with accessible entrances and enabled some families from one of Coventry’s special schools enjoy using the facilities there. Although only just set up, the Friends have an ambitious list of priorities to enable Coventry young people participate in as wide a range of activities as possible. The current priority for the Friends is to raise funds for the ‘Mountain Bike Experience’ project. This amazing project has a fund raising target in excess of £20,000. The project will enable young people of all abilities and backgrounds to learn about and experience the excitement of mountain biking in a safe environment. It will link into a number of current programmes to do with health, safe cycling and the Olympic legacy. Young people will be supported by qualified and experienced staff in Coventry and at Plas Dol Y Moch drawn from the Centre team and local cycling clubs. Youngsters who would like to continue with the sport or show a particular aptitude for it will be encouraged to join identified local clubs and centres. We need to raise funds for 20 bikes, some adapted for young people with disability, 1 tandem bike, Safety equipment, e.g. helmets, Bike trailer, Secure storage, Training track at Plas Dol y Moch We hope to phase the project in from January, 2014.
