Slimming to care for the carers!

Donations cannot currently be made to this page
There are more than 6m unpaid carers in the UK supporting family and friends. Carers can often experience feelings of isolation, stress and financial worries which can affect their own health. Through its national network, Crossroads Care helps carers make a life of their own outside caring.

Story

From  1st January to 1st July I will be doing a sponsored slim to lose a minimum of two stone – why?

 

When 6 months pregnant with my third child I fell down the stairs and badly fractured my ankle. I was unable to look after my two young children on my own so Granda had to move in, as my husband works at sea. Granda is the best, but going from an independent widower to chief cook and bottle washer and nanny and taxi driver is NOT easy.

 

Crossroads arranged help four afternoons a week, letting granda do his thing while all of life’s domestic necessities where done. Also giving Granda and I the space we needed having not shared a roof for 20 years!

 

Carers need the care too so please sponsor me.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Crossroads Caring for Carers will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.


Many thanks for your support.
