Gill Renton, the manager of Crossroads, Perth, gave a presentation of the charity's work on Tuesday evening.

Gill, shown with Rotarian Bob Thomson, explained the work of Crossroads which is a care support group.

Gill manages some 49 staff members providing respite care for patients in their own homes and gave many examples of the processes involved in providing such a wide range of support.

Such relief allows people to be supported on hospital visits, essential shopping trips or just support at home. The work is necessary for people who do not receive full time care.
