ProvidersUnite: Home Instead Charnwood stands for the Future of Care
The UK’s social care sector is at a critical crossroads. Every day, dedicated care providers support 1.2 million individuals, ensuring they can live with dignity, independence, and quality of life. Yet, the challenges facing the sector threaten its very survival. That’s why ProvidersUnite—a grassroots coalition of community care and support providers—is taking action.
Why ProvidersUnite Matters
At the heart of ProvidersUnite is a shared commitment: to safeguard the future of adult social care and ensure that care providers’ voices are heard at every level of government. The numbers speak for themselves:
- 🏡 1.2 million individuals rely on community care and support services.
- 👩⚕️ 1.59 million care professionals work tirelessly to provide essential care.
- 💰 The sector contributes £68.1 billion to the UK economy.
Despite this, the sector continues to face funding shortfalls, workforce challenges, and policy uncertainty. Without urgent action, care providers, care professionals, and the vulnerable individuals they support will bear the consequences.
The Time to Act is Now
On March 19, the House of Commons will consider the Lords Amendments to the National Insurance Contributions (Secondary Class 1 Contributions) Bill—a decision that could significantly impact social care providers. ProvidersUnite is leading a Social Media Day of Action at 8 AM to highlight the urgency of this moment.
