Carers Trust

1st Apr 2012

As of April 1 2012, The Princess Royal Trust for Carers and Crossroads Care have merged to form a new carers charity called “Carers Trust”

The new charity will combine the knowledge, skills, expertise and experience of its founder charities and all of the independent Network Partners; Crossroads Care schemes and The Princess Royal Trust for Carers local carers’ centres.

Carers’ needs, choices and voices will remain at the heart of everything they do, as they strive to ensure that the enormous contribution they make to those they care for and to society is fully recognised, appreciated and valued.

Andrew Cozens, Chair of Carers Trust said:

The merger “will give us a single, stronger voice with which to raise greater awareness of the issues that carers face, as well as the money needed to sustain existing, and develop new, services for carers.”
