Shout loud
Our day! Surrey & ProvidersUnite shout loud for social care
Today, *Tuesday 25 February* thousands of social care providers and supported people up and down the country are shouting loud and calling for better funding and support.
With many of our SCA members at the rally in Westminster, today is also the day Surrey Care Association launches its brand-new film, Their Voice, Their Future. .
As part of our support for the #ProvidersUnite movement across the UK, the film shows the difference adult social care providers in Surrey are making.
Whether you are with the estimated 4,000 people at the #ProvidersUnite Westminster rally or marking the event in Surrey today, we are all calling for better.
Because at the heart of this, are the people we support.
The voices shouting loud is for them and with them. For their futures.*KatHall/SCA
