We are featuring local good causes this Christmas period.

Our 12 days of Christmas series has already featured some great causes.

Today it's the turn of Crossroads care in Teddington.

Crossroads Care was named after the British soap opera Crossroads which ran on ITV from 1964 until 1988, and again from 2001 until 2003.

In the show, Meg Richardson (Noele Gordon), cared for her disabled son Sandy at home.

This storyline provoked a lot of interest from real Carers as it highlighted the lack of support for unpaid people who were also looking after loved ones.
