Wear a woolly hat and show that you care...

In November, we are celebrating the 60th anniversary of the television soap opera, “Crossroads” (from which we take our name), by launching our Wear a woolly hat appeal to raise funds and support the incredible work that unpaid carers do.

At some point during the week of Saturday 2nd November to Friday 8th November, simply make a donation and send us a photo of yourself, family, friends or colleagues wearing their woolly hats.

The reason behind the woolly hat…

So, what does wearing a woolly hat have to do with supporting unpaid carers?

Our charity, Crossroads Care Surrey, takes its name from the British soap opera “Crossroads”, where the character Meg Richardson cared for her disabled son, Sandy, at home. In November, we will celebrate the 60th anniversary of the very first episode of “Crossroads”, and we would like to mark this milestone. The woolly hat is inspired by Benny, a character from the show known for always wearing one, making it a fitting tribute to our roots.

So, show your support for local unpaid carers by wearing your woolly hat, sharing on social media and tagging us too!
