Popular TV presenter and former “I’m a Celebrity…….Get Me Out Of Here!” contestent, Esther Rantzen is supporting the relaunch of the charity Crossroads Care.

Crossroads Care (formerly Crossroads) is the leading provider for carers and the people they care for and are a network of local charities employing over 5,00 trained professionals who provide both practical and emotional support to carers.

Esther Rantzen, who recently hinted at standing for parliament, said “there are an astonishing six million carers in this country, many of them schoolage children. When they reach a point at which they can no longer cope on their own, they need to know where to find help.”
