This #GoodNewsFriday we鈥檙e saying a big thank you to everyone who joined in on #CelebratingSocialCare with us throughout April.
As April draws to a close we’re coming to the end of our #CelebratingSocialCare campaign and we’re so delighted to see the great wave of positivity that the campaign spread across the social care sector.
The celebrations really struck a chord with so many of you. It’s not often you get the opportunity to shout about the great work you do and we’re proud to have given you reason to do so.
Thank you so much to everyone for getting involved and sharing your wonderful news and updates with us, we loved seeing every single one.
To round-up the campaign we’ve put together a collection of just some of the lovely celebrations you shared with us.
