Our service covers the entire Kent and Medway
Macmillan Volunteer service is mostly free except our volunteer transportation service
It's 75p per mile that covers volunteer's mileage, parking and admin expenses
Please remember this is a volunteer service and we do not provide any cleaning or similar professional services. However, depending on the acceptance and ability of our volunteers, some light housework or similar practical support may be provided.
Many volunteers often choose to give between 1- 3 hours once a week, based on their lifestyle, home location and personal wishes. They may visit on the same day and time each week, or may look to fit their visit around you, subject to your wishes.
Our volunteers are provided with full training prior to supporting any clients and are required to complete a criminal background check and provide two successful references before joining us as an active volunteer.
Yes! We would complete a Holistic Needs Assessment with you which would identify if there was any other support needs that you have. We work with organisations where we can refer for benefit and grants, holistic therapy and home safety inspection.
Our fantastic team can help you apply for grants; including those provided by Macmillan as well as other beneficiaries.

In today's society, unpaid carers often find themselves juggling the responsibility of caring for their loved ones while trying to maintain some semblance of their own lives. It's a challenging balance, but one that Crossroads Care Kent is dedicated to supporting. Our mission is clear: to provide quality care services that enable unpaid carers in Kent to lead fulfilling lives beyond their caregiving duties.
