(UK, 1012177) Browse eventsOur 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.
