Crossreach

At CrossReach we offer loving care to people of all ages who are in need of a helping hand, supporting them to live life to the full whatever their circumstances.

We have been at the forefront of high-quality social care for over 155 years. During that time, we have worked hard to understand the needs of the people who turn to us for help and with them have been at the forefront of pioneering services which have literally changed thousands of lives for the better.

Today we are one of the largest care providers in Scotland, with experience across a broad range of services. We are still growing, learning and improving, thanks to the incredible people we have the privilege to support, and all those who support us.

Project details

"Playful Beginnings"
Working together for these three years, let's build a house that lays a strong foundation for vulnerable families. Together we will support families at Sunflower Garden in Edinburgh and Daisy Chain in Glasgow. A child's early years can have an impact that lasts a lifetime. The Guild's support will ensure infants have the best possible start in life by developing strong, positive relationship between parents and children. With the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the cost of living crisis, parents are presenting to us with more trauma and distress than at any other time. Demand, and the need for your help, is greater than ever. Research shows that parents who attend to their own emotional and psychological needs are in a better position to respond to their infants' cues and engage with them in positive ways. The Guild will support specialist perinatal therapy with creche support at Sunflower Garden. The team there delivers Parent and Infant Relationship therapy. Parents can access their counselling sessions while leaving their baby in trusted hands. Daisy Chain is a community based, inclusive, early intervention project for children under 12, and their families. With your support, the team will work to improve children's health and wellbeing through play and nurture. Your help will strengthen family relationships and support families to become more resilient. Children with disabilities, from deprived backgrounds and facing home challenges can thrive here.
