Our commitment to the care sector

We’ve worked exclusively in the care sector since 1996. We understand the challenges it faces, and our commitment to it runs deep. And, as a commercial organisation working solely in the social care arena, we are in the fortunate position of being able to support key sector bodies and events.

We have sponsored the Laing & Buisson annual Extra Care and Long Term Care Conferences for the past six years, and the National Care Forum’s (NCF) Annual Conference since the very first one back in 2004. This year sees our second sponsorship of the English Community Care Association’s (ECCA) Annual Conference.

Four years ago, we launched our own event, the Innovation Exchange, with the sole aim of gathering together key care professionals to exchange ideas and experience on the key issues facing our sector. The first one was really well received and so it became an annual event, with this year’s Quality services: Positive choice event looking at the very topical issue of the public image of social care and how to make living in a care setting a positive choice for people rather than the option of last resort.  To read more about this very topically-themed event, please visit guardian.co.uk by clicking here.

Through our charitable arm, Foundations, we support a wide range of organisations, including many associated with social care and often involving our customers - click here to go to our Community Support section and find out more.
