I loved the emphasis on reciprocity. Of course we all want to feel recognised & have opportunities to be helpful.

4.7 million people in England provide unpaid care and support to family often at a financial cost and to their health and wellbeing. Our vision is for unpaid care to be recognised, supported and remunerated when it’s a choice.

4 in 5 of us will need adult social care in our lifetime. Yet, without the glue of adult social care, lives are falling apart. Long waiting lists, low staff levels, people reaching crisis point. Together, we can change this. Join us to transform care. adass.org.uk/care-cant-wa...

The NICs increase is a concern to both our Directors and care providers. “It forces councils to make choices about care eligibility, increases costs for care providers and councils who are overspending on adult social care,” says our VP, @jessmcp.bsky.social.
