We recently held a writing competition, asking those in the care sector to tell us about their vivid experience whilst at work. We were glad to receive more articles than we expected and were really touched by all the stories we read. We will be publishing a number of those articles over the coming weeks.

Make sure you don’t miss out on our headline speaker, Caroline Dinenage, Minister of State for Care and other highly-anticipated seminars from the likes of: Andrea Sutcliffe, Chief Inspector of Adult Social Care at CQC; and Professor Martin Green OBE, Chief Executive of Care England.

Our Champions are our volunteers, they are our eyes and ears in care communities across the UK acting as ambassadors, telling people about CWC and helping them to access our services

We were glad to receive more articles than we expected and were really touched by all the stories we read. We will be publishing a number of those articles over the coming weeks.
