Last year I was Mayor’s Consort for the borough of Richmond and Crossroads Care was one of the Mayor’s two chosen charities. I was so impressed by the wonderful work they do I am delighted to have an opportunity to continue that support for such a wonderful organisation.

To give you a bit of background about them: Crossroads Care Richmond and Kingston upon Thames provides bespoke, high quality home and community respite services to unpaid Carers and the people they support.

Crossroads have been caring for local people of all ages and disability for over 30 years.

A registered charity, and network partner of Carers Trust, together we are working for the benefit of the UK's 7 million unpaid Carers.
