In memory of Doreen Edwards
We provide specialist care and support to help informal carers to care for longer.

Story

Doreen was a fiercely independent mother, sister, Nan, aunt whose greatest wish was to reach 80 years of age, which she did in May 2021. We all loved her very much and when in later life she suffered with dementia crossroads were there for her, giving advice on how to apply for grants or to sit with her and chat. They really went above and beyond  to help us, so we want to help them in Doreen’s memory.

About the charity

Crossroads Caring for Carers provides a wide range of community care services across Sandwell, Birmingham, Walsall, Wolverhampton and surrounding areas. In Dudley we provide wellbeing services to adult carers, young adult carers (aged 18 -25) and young carers (up to the age of 18) who care for a family member. We help informal carers to care for longer by providing practical support, training, respite and palliative care, improving the health and well-being of carers and those they care for. We also offer personalised in-home care to support with daily living needs, enabling people with complex needs to remain in their own home for longer. This can be provided alongside social care services or funded by the person themselves or their family. In addition, we provide services in Sandwell and Birmingham to support carers of people with memory issues or a dementia diagnosis.
