WesMail – Driving the Voices of Care to Westminster

The National Care Association is excited to spotlight Katrina Hall, a passionate care provider and sector campaigner who has launched an inspiring new movement: WesMail.

WesMail was born out of Katrina’s determination to make sure the voices of care providers and frontline staff including her own overseas workers are heard where they matter most. Too often, our sector’s struggles and solutions are drowned out. WesMail is about changing that.

Through WesMail, providers and staff can send letters by email straight to Katrina. She will print every single one and take them, in a truck, directly to Wes Streetings office a powerful, united message from the sector that cannot be ignored.

Katrina explains: “I started this for my teams, with my teams, but it’s for everyone’s. If you feel your voice isn’t being heard, WesMail will carry it all the way to Parliament. One provider alone can be overlooked, but together, we are impossible to ignore.”

👉 Add your voice: email your letter to wesmailuk@gmail.com

Let’s fill that truck with the voices of care and drive change together.

🌟 Guest Speaker Spotlight: Eddy McDowall 🌟

We’re delighted to welcome Eddy McDowall, Chief Executive of the Oxfordshire Association of Care Providers (OACP), as a guest speaker at our upcoming conference.

Eddy has been leading OACP since 2014, championing the adult social care sector in Oxfordshire. With a career in social care stretching back to 1988, his experience includes work with the Local Government Association, commissioning Healthwatch, and contributing to the development of health and wellbeing boards with the Department of Health.

Before joining OACP, Eddy spearheaded the Dementia 4 Schools project, engaging over 140 schools to raise awareness of dementia and foster a dementia-friendly generation, working alongside the Department of Health, Angela Rippon OBE, Alzheimer’s Society, and local partners.

Eddy brings a wealth of knowledge, experience, and passion for the future of social care—along with a love of football and family history (though he’s yet to discover a professional footballer among his ancestors!).

👉 Don’t miss the chance to hear from Eddy on the 18th September
