A New Footprint for Crossroads Care
Crossroads Care Cheshire East and Crossroads Care Manchester have
merged to become a new Service Delivery Organisation - Crossroads Care
Cheshire East, Manchester and Tameside (CCCEMT).

Following a comprehensive strategic review Crossroads Care Association recognised that, in order for schemes to continue to offer an increasing range of excellent services for carers and the people they care for, it would be beneficial for schemes to work together to create larger, more streamlined organisations.

CCCEMT will continue to be at the forefront of delivering carer led services and locally delivered
services by maintaining existing office locations. We remain absolutely committed to supporting carers
in all aspects of their caring role and will ensure that there will be no change in the level and quality of
services provided.

The only changes will be exciting and positive. A larger organisation will offer efficiencies in support
and service development functions and will create new opportunities for growth.

Carers deserve the very best support. Crossroads Care Cheshire East, Manchester and Tameside will work hard to support them fully in achieving independence, choice and control.

From August 1 2009 Crossroads network adopted a new name and a new look. The new name is Crossroads Care. It is a subtle difference but it says more about what we actually do without losing the Crossroads element which means high quality care to those who know us.

New name for Crossroads
Crossroads is now called Crossroads Care, a simple change that points to what they do so well. More carers turn to Crossroads Care than to any other social care provider. The new name and marketing mission, their care quality standards and their continuing focus on people not profit, will help more carers and the people they care for, find the peace of mind they need.

Carers get a helping hand from Esther Rantzen
Childline founder Esther Rantzen is getting behind social care by supporting the re launch of carer support charity – Crossroads Care. “There are an astonishing six million carers in this country, many of them school age children. When they reach a point at which they can no longer cope on their own, they need to know where to find help they can trust.”

Crossroads Care has over one hundred, independent local schemes across England and Wales. They are expanding their services to meet the growing demand for carer support but without compromising the service quality for which they are widely admired.

“We’re re launching ourselves” says Anne Roberts (Chief Executive of Crossroads Care Association) “we need to be clearer about what we do and make sure that more carers and the people they support know about us. We’ve never had to market ourselves before, but now we do, so we’re raising our profile with a new look, a new name …… Crossroads Care …… and a new energy in our communication, hugely helped by Esther”.
