Next week, before the Budget, we will deliver a box full of stories to Downing Street. Stories from dozens of real people whose lives will be impacted if social care is neglected in the Chancellor's Budget yet again.​

Chancellor, as you prepare your Budget, we urge you to remember the people behind the numbers – and to make social care a national priority.​

In the run up to this year’s autumn #Budget, we’re asking the Chancellor to listen to the voices of people whose lives depend on social care.

This Budget must work for all of us.

As we approach the #Budget, we want to remind the Chancellor of the real figures that matter in social care.

Older people, disabled people and their unpaid carers cannot wait another year for social care funding.

Emily Holzhausen, CSA Co-Chair, said: “MPs – your voice really matters to us. We want you to hold decision makers to account and work with us to secure a better future for social care. Investing in care is investing in all of us”. (4/5)

Jack, who receives social care, said: “The less care I get, the less independent I am. There's a real lack of aspiration for what a good life is for someone with a disability. We need a well-funded, needs-led care system that moves from enabling mere survival to fulfilling lives.” (3/5)

We heard from @annadixonmp.bsky.social‬ : “We must build political consensus on social care, and raise public awareness of how important care and support is. People who draw on and provide care are too often invisible. We have to change that and celebrate the value of care and support.” (2/5)

Yesterday, thanks to over 2000 campaigners who sent invitations, we welcomed MPs to our #ShowUsYouCare event in Parliament. Our attendees heard about the 3.5 million people unable to get the support they need and how we can work together to change this. (1/5)
