Carers Week 2012
Here are a few more images of Crossroads staff out and about during carers week. We held a stall at the Hounslow Civic Centre to provide help and advice to struggling carers. Some of the public also took part in a get fit and fabulous class organised by the staff at Brent Carers Centre.
Carer’s week
There are currently over six million carers throughout the UK. That is 1 in every 10 people. Over the next 30 years it is expected that the numbers of Carers will increase to 3. 4 million.
Many people have either been a carer or know of a family member, friend or a neighbour who has been carer at some stage in their life. Caring affects us all.
For carers week the staff at Crossroads Care West London were out and about providing, information, help and advice to people who may be carers or know someone who is a carer. Here are some pictures of our staff at Glaxo Smith Kline where we held a stall for information.

The visits are very helpful and I can rely on my carer for professional services provided to my mother at all times. The carers from Crossroads are all well trained and as a result, I can enjoy my few hours without having to worry.
