Hear more about our Guildford 10k Charity of the Year, Crossroads Care Surrey and how the work they do, supports others 🩷
Chris has had problems since birth. He has Hydrocephalus (water on the brain), Epilepsy, Diabetes, optic nerve damage and learning difficulties. At times, Chris can be a handful. When he is, Carer Support Worker Andy is there to give Mum, Carol, the break from caring that she so desperately needs.
Life is hectic for Carol and always has been. So much so, that she had a breakdown and continues to take anti-depressants to this day.
A social worker recommended Crossroads Care Surrey to Carol, and the rest is history.
Carer Support Worker Andy has supported Carol by being a friend to Chris for the last 6 ½ years.
Andy’s objective is to ensure Carol gets a rest from caring for Chris, by engaging in fun activities with him.
Andy visits Carol four times a week to share the demands of taking care of Chris.
To help support people like Carol, sign up and take on the Guildford 10k for charity partner, crossroadscaresurrey.org.uk/guildford-10k
