Celebrating Social Care

This April we’re once again #CelebratingSocialCare focusing on the amazing people who work in care, and we’d love you to join the celebrations.

Since 2022, we’ve dedicated the month of April to #CelebratingSocialCare. Although we celebrate social care year-round, we use this month to celebrate a little bit louder and a little bit harder and we encourage everyone else to join in. 

People who work in social care are highly skilled, passionate and hard-working and it’s important that we all take time to recognise the vital work they do. Without our sector’s dedicated workforce many people would not be able to live fulfilling lives in the way they choose. 

Hear directly from those who are #CelebratingSocialCare and explore our blogs and articles where people working in adult social care share their experiences, insights, and why they love what they do.

Join us in #CelebratingSocialCare

We’re inviting everyone to get involved and show their support. We’re excited to see how you’ll take part!
