Non-profit providers like us HAVE to pass the the tax rise to local authorities who HAVE to provide care. We need funding from government, so we've joined social care providers to write to the Chancellor.

The Care Provider Alliance, and Social Care Future, have published a joint paper calling for investment in Earlier Action and Support interventions.
