The Crossroads Care schemes began in 1975 as a direct result of the television soap of the same name. There was a character in the television programme called Sandy. He was a wheelchair user and was cared for by Megan. ITV received many leers from carers saying that the portrayal of the character and the role of his carer were not always accurate, although they were pleased that a disabled person was being featured on the programme. To their credit, the television producon team donated £10,000 to do research into how many carers there were, and what they needed to help their situaon.

At that me, the only respite carers could get was if their loved ones went to hospital. The research project was scrapped and the first Crossroads scheme began.

We are delighted and very much looking forward to working with existing and new carers and their families and partner organisations to deliver the new carer’s health and wellbeing service throughout Herefordshire.

We hope the busy programme of activities and events provided by ourselves and our partners will support and assist you in your caring role. As a care quality commission regulated care provider our qualified care staff will be on hand at events to ensure your day can run smoothly. We welcome feedback and ideas from carers and those with support needs and will use your thoughts to shape and develop the services going forwards.

We are really excited about the opportunities these new services will provide to support families throughout Here- fordshire and look forward to establish-

A potted history…. The Crossroads Care schemes began in 1975 as a direct result of the television soap of the same name. There was a character in the television programme called Sandy. He was a wheelchair user and was cared for by Megan. ITV received many letters from carers saying that the portrayal of the character and the role of his carer were not always accurate, although they were pleased that a disabled person was being featured on the programme. To their credit, the television production team donated £10,000 to do research into how many carers there were, and what they needed to help their situation.

It took only a few weeks for the research project to realise that amongst the support carers needed was respite care in their homes. At that time, the only respite carers could get was if their loved ones went to hospital. The research project was scrapped and the first Crossroads scheme began.

Our own Crossroads Care scheme was formed in 1996 in the Forest of Dean and we have been supporting carers in Herefordshire since 2008. We are a registered charity and not-for-profit care agency regulated by the Care Quality Commission. In 2015 we are delighted to be working with Herefordshire Council to be offering carers wellbeing service throughout the county.

The charitable side of the Yeleni Support Centre has been set up to provide up to 9 free complementary therapy sessions to anyone with cancer or chronic illness in Herefordshire. These free sessions are also combined with ongoing support through groups and workshops.

Yeleni offer the opportunity to just simply pop in to the Centre and have a cup of tea and a chat or to come and sit somewhere quiet such as their meditation room or garden and have the chance to borrow books from the library.

Yeleni can offer free / reduced cost therapies to those who are in a caring role.
