When we can’t care - who will?

If social care didn’t exist, the wider economy would suffer. The sector supports many more jobs indirectly through supply chains and local economies.

Image of Gary Meek CEO with quote text overlayed on a white background - "We’re deeply disappointed by today’s decision, which puts added financial pressure on Blue Triangle and other social care providers at a time when people need us most. This could make it even harder to deliver the vital support our supported people rely on, especially with the housing crisis growing. We will continue to advocate for a review of this decision to ensure the sustainability of support for our communities."

MPs have voted on the National Insurance Bill without exemptions for social care providers, adding financial strain when people need us most. This could impact our ability to deliver vital support during the housing crisis.

📢 Here's our statement:

#ProvidersUnite #ValueSocialCare #HousingEmergency

We urge MPs, who are debating right now and particularly those who have our services supporting people in their constituencies, to support the social care sector and back the amendment to exempt health and social care providers from the ENICs changes #providersunite #ValueSocialCare #NICSDefeat

Today the National Insurance Contributions Bill returns to the Commons.

MPs will decide whether to give #charities providing health and care an exemption from tax rises. This is essential to protect the care and support disabled people rely on.

#ValueSocialCare #NICsBill

📢 Today, the House of Commons considers Lords Amendments to the National Insurance Contributions Bill—a crucial moment for social care.

Without proper funding, thousands won’t get the support they need.

Tell MPs why we must #ValueSocialCare before it’s too late!

Value everyone who has ever or will ever need social care. Listen to their voices. Learn from their experiences.

We had an incredible day at the @providersunite.bsky.social Day of Action in London!

Seeing the #socialcare sector come together in full force to advocate for the people we support was truly powerful. The message is clear: change is long overdue!

#ValueSocialCare #ProvidersUnite #StrongerTogether

What a great turnout for the social care day of action today! Demonstrating to the government the significant value of #SocialCare and the importance of fully funding the care and support millions of people rely on.

We support 2,500 people affected by dementia every year. We know how our amazing staff bring happiness and empowerment, reduce isolation and restore dignity. So we're proud to be part of #ProvidersUnite day of action. It is time for change, for investment and for policy makers to #ValueSocialCare

So proud of my colleague Monique representing our charity at #ProvidersUnite day of action today
#ValueSocialCare

Today is a day of action on the value of social care.

But funding pressures are putting this all at risk.

People who draw on social care say this time and time and again – now is the time for government to listen! #ValueSocialCare #ProvidersUnite

A powerful day, a powerful message.

The government cannot ignore us when we stand together.

Social care saves lives, supports jobs, and strengthens society. It’s time for real action.

#ValueSocialCare #CareCannotWait

Social care deserves recognition and respect and it's time for policy makers to acknowledge its true value. It's time for the Government to engage in a meaningful dialogue about the impact of the Budget and ensure fair pay and sustainable investment in care services. #ValueSocialCare #ProvidersUnite

#Socialcare is about supporting people to live the lives they want. It's about supporting Bashir who loves to garden or supporting Thomas who is a celebrated artist or supporting Martin and Yvette to organise their wedding.

#ValueSocialCare to support people to live Gloriously Ordinary Lives.

Millions of individuals, carers, service users, families & communities depend on a system that has long been undervalued and underfunded. This must change to ensure we have a system that is fit for the future.
