adopted by Crossroads
Crossroads Care started in 1973 in Rugby, named after the long-running soap opera ‘Crossroads’. The soap featured a storyline that involved Meg Richardson, caring at home for her disabled son Sandy; this provoked interest from real Carers, who highlighted the lack of support for unpaid people looking after their loved ones.
As a direct result, in 1974 broadcasters ATV donated £10,000 to set up the first Crossroads scheme in Rugby to support Carers and their families.
It has now been over 40 years since Crossroads Care began supporting Carers- and we’ve come a long way since the days that made it synonymous with the former television soap opera.
