Social Care is everywhere
Surrey shouting loud for social care: and now a national event 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.
And now #providersunite, a national coalition of community care and support providers calling the government to review its 2025 Budget – are holding a national event at the end of February.
The event is about highlighting the enormous contribution that social care provision gives countless communities. You can sign up to join #providersunite by clicking on the LinkedIn and Whatsapp links on its home page, and we will of course 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
