We were proud to attend September’s Manchester gat We were proud to attend September’s Manchester gathering, where people with lived experience came together to share powerful messages for the Casey Commission on the future of adult social care. 💬✨

You can view the video from the day, created by Leighton Wise below and also view the report below. The gathering focused on one key message: listen to us and work with us to grow a system that truly helps people live good, connected lives. 🌟

Together we called for a social care system built on shared power, human rights, early help, real self-directed support, community-building approaches, and a workforce enabled to focus on relationships, not just tasks. ❤️

Let’s spread the word and keep this movement growing. 🙌⭐️💙
