TIME TO SAY THANK YOU TO OUR VOLUNTEERS!
Crossroads Fife celebrates and thanks our Volunteer Befrienders for their kindness, time and dedication in helping the people who need us most. Thank you to our volunteers for going the extra mile supporting vulnerable people during the lockdown by phone or shop-drops. During Volunteers’ Week from 1-7 June, we want to honour the power of volunteering and their incredible impact. The coronavirus pandemic has raised the profile of volunteering and the immense contribution being made every single day by volunteers.

Crossroads Fife is a local Scottish charity who is proud to have provided quality care and dependable support to people in Fife for over 25 years. Our Befriending service provided by Volunteers complements the Respite, Palliative and Purchased Services delivered by Support Staff. All of our services enable carers and vulnerable adults to have a break by relying on our highly trained staff and volunteers.

Our valuable volunteers make an enormous contribution to individual’s lives, families and communities throughout Scotland. With over 1.2 million people involved in formal volunteering, they contribute more than £2 billion to the Scottish economy every year. Volunteer Nancy, said ‘I’ve been volunteering with Crossroads for a couple of years and befriending has become such an important and wonderful part of my life which my befriendee and I both treasure’.

Crossroads Fife Chair, Murray Grubb said ‘The pandemic has changed the landscape so taking the time to thank our volunteers for their critical contribution and connection to the most vulnerable in our society is essential. We celebrate our volunteers and look forward to their full return.’

So, if you’re up to volunteering and helping someone feel more connected and less socially isolated and lonely, we’d love to hear from you: marie@crossroadsg.co.uk, 01592 630253. ick here to edit.

Introduction of Small Service Charge to Core Service

23/6/2017

With effect from 3rd July 2017 it is regrettable that Crossroads Fife Central will introduce a charge of £5 per service to all service users in receipt of a free service.

We are very grateful to receive the majority of our funding from Fife Health and Social Care Partnership, however the actual cost of delivering the support to service users has increased. In the past we have supplemented these costs thanks to support through some generous donations and legacies, unfortunately we do not have the finances to continue to do this.

As a charity, Crossroads Fife Central has delivered respite care free at the point of delivery for over 25 years. Although we are having to implement this small charge, we remain deeply committed to looking after Carers and the cared for.

The Trustees have put in place a significant programme of cost savings which will not directly impact on the quality or quantity of care offered.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the office on Tel: 01592 610540
