SLOUGH CROSSROADS-CARING FOR CARERS
CEOIChalr Raport for 202412025
Dear Friends and Supporters,
The 2024125 year has been both demanding and rewarding for Crossroads Care
Slough. At a time when many organisations have been forced to reduce their
presence, we have remained a steadfast lrfeline for carers and those they care for
across our community. Thanks to the unwavering commitment of our staff. trustees,
volunteers, and supporters, we have continued to deliver essential respite and
specialist care services that bring dignity, reassurance, and practical help to families.
One of our proudest achievements this year was securtng vital funding at critical
moments. The £15,000 core cost grant from the Garfield Weston Foundation provided
immediate stability when pressures were at their highest. Toward the end of the
financial year, we received a three-year £90,000 National Lottery Community Fund
grant to part-fund our Community ConneGt- Empowering Lives Together programme.
This support not only strengthened our finances but allowed us to look forward with
confidence, knowing we can expand the reach and impact of a project that is already
bringing people together and tsckling isolation.
We also successfully tendered for SBC Adult Social Care serrfices an important step
toward ensuring that our experience and high standards remain part of the local care
framework. However, the continued delay in signlng the contract, coupled wtth Slough
Borough Council's ongoing removal of care packages and the absence of new
referrals, has created uncertainty and placed added pressure on our resources. Rlsing
costs-from National Minimum Wage increases to utilities and insurance-have
further tested our resilience. These challenges are real, but they have also
demonstrated the strength and adaptability of our team, who have responded with
professionalism, compassion, and creatrvity to ensure that families were not left
without support.
This year, we were particularly pleased to complete our Cyber Essentials certification,
strengthening our digital security and demonstrating to partners and families that their
data and prFvacy are protected to nationally recognised standards. We have also
continued to invest in staff development and trustee support, recognising that their
skills, wellbeing, and commitment are at the heart of everything we achieve.
Looking to the future, we are optimistic. We will use the Community Connect
programme to bring even more carers and vulnerable Tesidents together, reducing
isolation and providing meaningful respite. Wewill continue to advocate forfairfunding
and transparent commissioning, while also diversifying our income streams so that no
single funding source can jeopardise our ability to serve the community, We will invest
in technology, training, and community partnerships to ensure our services remain
robust, responsive, and ready for the years ahead.
Above alf, we remain deeply grateful to our stsff and trustees for their dedication, to
our supporters and funders for their trust, and to the carers and families who invite us
into their lives. Together, we will meet the challenges ahead with the same resilience,
