At the 2019 AGM Dr Meg Hopkins M.B.E. resigned as Chairperson of Crossroads and Mr David Bleasdale was elected as Chairperson. Meg has been inspirational in developing Crossroads since 1985 and the Board are delighted that she has agreed to continue to serve Crossroads as a Board member.
The board regrets the resignation of Mr David Bleasdale as Chairperson in October 2020 but are delighted that Mrs Jennifer Brodie has agreed to act as interim chairperson until a new chairperson can be elected”
The 2018 annual survey of service users was carried out in May. Once again our clients have shown us how much they value our service with an overall satisfaction rate of over 95% of those who returned completed questionnaires. All points raised by service users, their families and carers have been given careful consideration and acted upon by the manager and staff where appropriate. We are very appreciative of the time and effort service users put in to complete the questionnaire. The results are valued by us as they can draw to our attention points which could otherwise be overlooked.
Crossroads Staff Survey 2017
The 2017 annual survey of staff was carried out in August. Although it was disappointing that the response rate was only 33% we were pleased that overall job satisfaction remained high at above 88%
Several very appreciative comments were made about the office staff and how approachable and helpful they were.
Colin McCracken of the Care Inspectorate visited us on Saturday 17 March.
This inspection looked at two aspects of our work. Again this was a very successful inspection.
There were no requirements or recommendations for change made
Coffee Afternoons
A very enjoyable coffee afternoon, attended by service users, carers and Board members was held on Thursday 12 October at “The View” in Port William. This proved to be an excellent venue. The staff were very helpful and friendly – and the scones, fresh and delicious!
Congratulations to Becky Dalrymple, our Admin Assistant on her organisation of the event and her involvement with service users on the day.
The 2016 annual survey of service users was carried out in May. As
in previous years, we were pleased to discover how highly our service
users value the service, with an overall satisfaction rate of over 95%
of those who returned completed questionnaires. All points raised by
service users, their families and carers have been given careful
consideration and acted upon by the manager and staff where
appropriate, and once again, we appreciate the time and effort service
users put in to complete the questionnaires and hope that they find
the exercise worthwhile. We certainly do, as it can highlight points
which could otherwise be overlooked.
