South Gloucestershire Crossroads is an independent registered voluntary agency which supports people who care for a person with a disability living at home. It provides a much needed opportunity for the carer to have a short break.

South Gloucestershire Crossroads is completely autonomous but affiliated to the National Crossroads Organisation. It is administered by a manager who is responsible for assessing a family’s needs and for supplying the practical help at times required by the family. Trained Career support workers are employed and trained by Crossroads to give the carer a break; the help and support provided by the career support worker depends on the individual needs of the family.

In order to meet the high demand of our service that can not be met through our current funding, we are now able to offer a service that families can pay for.

Anyone can refer a person or family to our scheme-carers, people with a disability, their relatives and neighbours, as well as doctors, social workers and health visitors.
