£32 billion a year.

That’s what taxpayers are spending right now, not on a thriving, well supported care system, but on one under immense strain.

As a care provider, I see firsthand the weight unpaid carers and professional providers carry every day, working tirelessly to keep services going despite the pressures. We are doing everything we can, but no amount of frontline dedication can replace the reform and investment that’s needed at the top.

They call us a “second NHS,” valued at £184 billion, yet we remain mostly invisible, mostly unsupported.

Yes, the government celebrates 2 million extra NHS appointments.

Yes, they claim waiting lists are shrinking.

But the truth is Without real reform of social care, none of these NHS wins will hold.

The Health and Social Care Select Committee has made it clear:-

“Doing nothing to reform social care is an active, untenable decision.”

For every £1 we invest in social care, we get £1.75 back into the economy. We create 50,000 additional jobs. We strengthen the workforce, the communities, the future.

But right now, councils are being forced to patch gaps, divert funds, and cut preventative services while 2 million older people and 1.5 million working age adults go without the care they need and are entitled to.

Care providers are stepping up every single day, but we cannot meet this challenge alone.

This isn’t just about money.
It’s about human lives, dignity, and potential.

The NHS and social care are not two separate systems they are one connected lifeline.

We don’t need more headlines.
We don’t need more commissions.
We need real reform, real investment, and real political will now.

If you care about the future of health and care, speak up. Share this. Challenge the narrative. Because standing still is no longer an option.

Come and join the fastest growing movement in Social Care

Today, the House of Commons rejected crucial amendments to the NICs Bill, sealing the fate of thousands of care providers and the millions who rely on them. This decision dismantles the core principles of the Care Act 2014 and delivers a devastating blow to our sector.

Providers Unite will not stand by. We are mobilising over 4,000 care and support organisations to take action—lobbying MPs, pressuring local authorities, and demanding urgent change. The fight isn’t over. Join us. 💚

👏🏻We Did What the Government Couldn’t.👏🏻

For too long, social care has been divided. Providers kept their struggles to themselves. Competition over collaboration. Silence over support. Everyone trying to survive in a system crippled by poor government leadership, while others focused on building their own profile rather than driving real change.

But Providers Unite changed everything.

We tore down the barriers. We put aside competition. We removed the politics overnight and stood together like never before, a united force that the UK has never seen in social care.

So why can’t the government do the same?

Providers Unite isn’t a business. It’s not a brand. It’s not a platform for self promotion. It’s a movement. A movement led by the people, for the people. No egos. No personal gain. Just a shared mission to fix the system, because when providers stand together, the real winners are the people we care for.

💬 Share this if you believe social care deserves better.

DAY OF ACTION
Providers Unite
Nadra Ahmed CBE DL 💚

After an impactful day yesterday (25/2/25) where thousands of Care providers took part in an unprecedented Day of Action to highlight the challenges faced by providers, it was great to hear that the House of Lords had voted in favour of an exemption for social care providers following a debate in the afternoon. This small but significant step means that the debates will need to continue, and the pressure will remain on the Government to ensure that they are not remembered in history as the administration who allowed Social Care provision to collapse adding to the
pressure on the NHS and Local Government and causing their failure to meet their legal obligations.

Support on the day on the messaging from hashtag (led by National Care Association) was overwhelming from not only social care providers but people who use services, MP’s from across the country and Liberal Democrat Parliamentarians who addressed the rally in force. We were delighted to see all national and local media outlets speaking to real people who will be affected by the increase and broadcast their concerns.

Ian Turner OBE Co—Chair of National Care Association said:

"Social care providers have been underfunded for many years with Royal Commissions and reviews such as the Dilnot report never being implemented. This is culminating in significant frustration whilst providers continue to attempt to be financially sustainable in the face of significantly increasing costs.

The mood of the protest was that this cannot continue without additional financial resources being made available to providers. There is no indication from Local Authority that there will be additional resources available to increase the fee rates, paid by commissioners.

Continuing to politically kick the ball into the long grass places the viability of the sector as a whole, at risk."
