We’re delighted to be sponsoring this year's Learning Disability England Conference Good Lives: Stronger, Louder, Together! Today, in Manchester, #Campaign4Change representatives and self-advocates Frankie Dunn, Crystal Higgins and Clayton Maragh will be presenting a workshop entitled ‘Tree of a Good Life’. They will talk about ‘What is a good life?’ and what needs to change in social care and in our society for this to be a reality for people with learning disabilities and autistic people. They will be explaining the roots we need to water for our Tree of Life to grow big and strong. In addition, Mary Woodall who is a member of Learning Disability England’s Representative body, will be facilitating one of the speaker sessions.

In a pivotal moment for Social Care: Thousands of care and support providers are joining in a coordinated Day of Action centred in Westminster and simultaneously from multiple locations around the country! Today representatives from Campaign 4 Change and Achieve together are joining Providers Unite Day of Action in London to urge the government to give more funding to social care sector. #ValueSocialCare #ProvidersUnite #StrongerTogether #DayOfAction #SocialCareReform

The Future of Social Care is at Stake – Join Us at Westminster! On Tuesday, 25th February, we’re taking a stand at Westminster for the Providers Unite Day of Action. This peaceful rally will bring national attention to the urgent funding crisis in social care and the impact of Government policies that are pushing providers to breaking point. Why is this important? The Autumn Budget and unfunded National Insurance increases are making it harder for providers to sustain vital services. Without urgent Government investment, people who rely on social care will face disruptions to their support. Achieve together has been actively advocating for change—through Campaign 4 Change, direct government engagement, and sector-wide collaboration. Now, we need to amplify our voices. We are calling on all providers, advocates, and supporters to join us at Westminster or show their support online. Want to take part?

Let’s make our voices heard! #ProvidersUnite #SocialCareFunding #AchieveTogether #CareMatters #FairPayForCare
