We were one of 238 orgs to sign this letter to the First Minister
The sector needs to be valued and prioritised.
It is the most disadvantaged in our society that bear the brunt.
I's too late to give support once orgs have shut the doors. It'll be too little too late and ultimately cost more.

Against a blue background, the number 3 is displayed, with text reading: "A commitment to finally deliver multi-year funding, with uplifts that reflect inflation, to ensure stability for organisations, employees and the people they support."
Without action now, the consequences of the crisis will be felt across society, from deepening inequalities to even greater pressure on the NHS and public services – with Scotland’s most vulnerable individuals and families paying the price.

Against a blue background, the number 2 is displayed with text reading: "A medium-term fully-funded recovery plan for our sector, to address decades of underinvestment and ensure people can get the services they need into the future."
Recent polling found that 67% of not-for-profit providers are relying on financial reserves to stay afloat – and of these 91% say they will cease to be viable within four years if that trend continues.
With the government's Spending Review approaching, the time to act is now.

On a blue background there is a number 1 and text saying: Action in the upcoming Spending Review through an immediate and substantial cash injection into third sector providers of health and social care to address the current crisis. This must include full cost recovery for increases in employers' National Insurance contributions.
In an open letter to the First Minister, the ALLIANCE, @ccpscotland.bsky.social and 200+ sector leaders set out 4 key actions the Scottish Government can take to address the crisis threatening the social care sector.

Text reads: We need Scottish MPs to vote against the unjust cuts to disability and incapacity benefits. Justice and compassion demand it.
It’s wrong for the UK Government to balance the books on the backs of sick and disabled people. We need Scottish MPs to stand up for justice and compassion now.
