Will you join Skills for Care in #CelebratingSocialCare?
Posted on behalf of Skills for Care:
Throughout April Skills for Care will be #CelebratingSocialCare, and we’re encouraging everyone else to get involved too. At Skills for Care, we celebrate social care year-round, but throughout April we’re going to be celebrating a little bit louder and we’re asking as many people as possible to do the same.
Social care is such an important part of society, it touches everyone’s lives in some way, and the skilled and dedicated people who work in social care are making a vital contribution to our communities. That’s why we wanted to set aside a full month dedicated to recognising the important role of everyone who works in social care and to say well done and thank you. During this month we’ll also be celebrating the people who draw on care and support and the impact that social care has in allowing people to live their lives how they choose and do the things that they love.
We hope you can join us in celebrating you, your colleagues, and the people you support this month.
