We love celebrating the achievements of the people we support, and today Rosie gave us the perfect reason!

She headed to Go Ape and took on the course with confidence and enthusiasm. These experiences help build independence, resilience, and Rosie showed all in abundance. Watching her grow, try new things, and enjoy life her way is exactly what supported living is all about.

Well done, Rosie! What an amazing day🥹👏

Miss Gilly getting into the weekend spirit, she took a walk down to the pub and had a refreshing cold drink!

It may be windy but that isn't stopping Gilly getting out in the fresh air, continuing to learn to use her walking aid and having a lovely Fri-Yay! ✨

The lads have had the best time away and when you all live together in a residential, it’s not often you get the chance to head off on a proper holiday as a group🥹

Rams especially has been living his absolute best life and is definitely not ready to come home. Seeing them all so happy made the whole trip feel like a huge success 🥰

James and his team had been out enjoying the sunshine yesterday, and honestly, it’s exactly the kind of energy we all needed!

A bit of warmth, a bit of laughter, and a team that knows how to make the most of a bright day🌈👏

Todd’s been busy picking up all the bits he needs to sort the house planters, and he’s actually excited about it.

But the best part? He got home, turned the music up way too loud, and had a full disco moment in the living room. Garden prep by day, dance floor by night🥹

Kaylea has been experimenting with new foods lately and the best part is she’s actually enjoying them!

Who knew healthy eating could be this fun. She’s feeling really proud of herself for making choices that make her feel good, inside and out - and we're so proud of her! 👏

A day well spent✨

Russell and Martin enjoyed a meaningful day together yesterday, sharing laughs over bowling lanes and arcade games in Ashford.

Friendships within supported living aren’t just nice to have, they’re powerful. They build confidence, create connection, and remind us all that good relationships are worth the time 🥹✨

Care England are running a survey about people's views of social care. This is open to people who receive support, their families and those who work in the sector. The report will be shared with the government.
Please see below the email from Professor Martin Green which contains the link to the survey and gives more details. Please complete the survey so your views are heard.

Dear members,

I am writing to ask for your support in an important piece of work. We have an upcoming report, in partnership with PLMR, that will help reframe the narrative around adult social care, showcasing the brilliant work done across the sector despite significant challenges. The report will be launched in Parliament on 7th May, to MPs, Peers and key stakeholders across the healthcare sector.

Care England has launched a survey to gather real experiences of social care - from those who receive care, those who support loved ones, and those working across the sector. The findings will directly inform our written report.

For too long, social care has been positioned narrowly in national debate. Social care is critical national infrastructure: it enables people to live independent lives, supports millions of people to be economically active and underpins the NHS.

At a time when the Baroness Louise Casey review has called for a “national moment of reckoning” on adult social care, there is a real opportunity to ensure that the voices of those who know the system best are heard clearly and directly by decision-makers.

We are asking you to:
• Share the survey widely with residents, families, and your workforce
• Encourage participation across your networks
• Help ensure that lived experience is at the heart of this work

The survey covers key issues including:
• Experiences of receiving and providing care
• The role of social care in people’s lives and communities
• How well services work with the NHS
• What policymakers need to understand and do differently

Every response will strengthen our ability to make a compelling, evidence-based case for change.

You can access and share the survey here: https://app.wegather.info/d103d6af-73a7-47cc-80a8-718390d301d9

This is a moment where we can collectively influence how social care is seen - not just within the sector, but at the highest levels of government. I would strongly encourage you to take part and support this work.

If you have any questions, please contact Harry Blacklock at hblacklock@careengland.org.uk

Yours sincerely,

Professor Martin Green OBE
Chief Executive, Care England
