Good luck to everyone at #ProvidersUnite march today, including our own senior manager Monique Bentley. Social care matters - it brings joy, security and comfort to the most vulnerable, but Government actions are putting our sector at risk. Social care is a right not a privilege!

Sobering read from @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social - and the threat is real.
Our relatively small charity provides #dementia #socialcare in the community and faces £200k cost increase after the #autumn #budget. And some difficult choices...

We @nuffieldtrust.bsky.social think the combination of national insurance + wage rises announced in #budget2024 will add ~£2.8bn cost to #socialcare providers next year.
That's simply not manageable - and the impact will be felt by people who need care.
