Championing Social Care is delighted to announce Lifeways Group has joined the initiative as a founding patron. This is great news for the initiative and will bring a wealth of expertise and financial support to all its flagship programmes including Care Sector’s Got Talent; Care Home Open Week; Care Sector Fundraising Ball and #SparkleForSocialCare. Lifeways will add even more value to the initiative and help to strengthen its presence in the care sector. The charity’s unique insight with working with some of society’s most vulnerable people will also be invaluable.
Championing Social is a volunteer-led group of leaders from across the social care sector. The vision is to ensure a wider and deeper public understanding, appreciation and respect for social care. The initiative has gone from strength to strength since its inception in 2018 and its flagship programmes are now a key part of the care sector calendar.
Mark Beadle, Lifeways’ Chair, shared, “We’re delighted that Lifeways will be supporting the great work done by Championing Social Care. The work done each and every day, by our kind, compassionate, and caring colleagues at Lifeways and across the care sector needs to recognised, celebrated, and shouted from the rooftops.”
