CREATIVE BREAKS
ABOUT CROSSROADS
The idea for Crossroads Care Attendant Services arose out of a situation depicted in the TV series "Crossroads" in 1972. One character was disabled by an accident and the effect of this on family and carers was dramatically portrayed. Many of the viewers identified with the situation and a group of people, including a disabled viewer, got together to set up the first Crossroads Care Attendant Scheme in Rugby in 1973. The first scheme in Scotland was set up in 1977.
