02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Crossroads North Argyll provides respite for unpaid carers in Oban, Lorn and the Isles. We support the cared-for person by taking them out for a coffee, a drive, a walk or we do activities in their own home, such as jigsaws, crosswords, old photographs etc. This respite enables the unpaid carer to get a weekly break from their caring role by meeting up with friends, going to a group, going for appointments, catching up on sleep etc.
