Joint statement: Investing in adult social care for people and communities As organisations spanning the breadth of the adult social care and support sector, we stand ready to work with the Government, and on a cross-party basis, as equal partners, to bring about the longer-term changes that are needed to build a care and support system that enables everyone to live the life they want to lead.

We call on Rachel Reeves MP to strengthen adult social care and work with the sector to mitigate pressure on councils, providers and charities: https://orlo.uk/Xf9zF
