Hi everyone, on Monday August 24th our monthly drop-ins will be returning. This session is being hosted at 9 Derwent Street, Sunderland, SR1 3NT from 13:00 until 15:00. This session is open to carers, people with learning disabilities and autistic people who live in the North East. At this session, you can make your very own shaker card, play board games or have a nice chat over some tea and coffee! We will be uploading a video next week to show anyone, who may be interested, what to expect at the session. 😃

Share your thoughts on the future of adult social care!

I’m sure many of you will agree that the adult social care system in the UK is broken and has been for a long time.

I am delighted that this week Andy Burnham set out his vision for adult social care which includes a fully funded National Care Service, better pay and conditions for care workers and stronger support for the millions of unpaid carers as well as bringing forward an independent commission on adult social care led by Baroness Casey

The Big Conversation on Care has now launched and I would encourage you to have your say

Whether you use care services, care for someone else, work in care, or have opinions on how it should work in the future, your views will help shape the future of care.
