Surrey shouting loud for social care: #providersunite national event in London 25 February 2025

Surrey shouts loud for social care

In 2025 Surrey Care Association will be celebrating the work of our social care providers with residents in Surrey – continuing our theme of shouting loud for social care.

#providersunite, a national coalition of community care and support providers are calling the government to review its 2025 Budget. They are holding national event on 25 February in Westminster, London to make their voice heard.

The event is about highlighting the enormous contribution that social care provision gives countless communities. To get updates on the#providersunite event you can do this by clicking on the LinkedIn and Whatsapp links on its home page, and we will continue to update members on details.

We intend to use 2025 to focus on publicising the amazing work that our member providers do. Raising awareness of the vital importance of social care with members of the public and other stakeholders.

In the UK, there were nearly 5,500 requests for adult social care support every day of the year in 2023. *The Kings Fund 2024 

In Surrey, thousands rely on social care.
