#SocialCareFuture’s work is focused on three interlocking areas: changing the story of social care, bringing people together to co-create new pathways to a brighter future, and helping to grow the power and influence of those of us who draw on social care. Our 2024 gathering, which took place in Manchester on 19th September focused on people power, gathering change-makers from across England to share, learn and explore how to build our power and influence over the future of adult social care.
Leighton Wise made this lovely film for us, which we think sums up beautifully what it feels like to be part of a #SocialCareFuture gathering and to be connected to the movement more generally.
In the coming weeks we’re going to building a new part of this site, focused specifically on growing people power, where we’ll add helpful resources and links, as well as stories about the change we’re all making in our own lives and communities.
