@NCFCareForum Cllr Colin Noble @askcolinnoble says the government needs to understand the consequence of not fixing social care - the NHS will fall over. He notes the severe funding crisis in councils.

"if we invest in social care we're dealing with a lot of inequalities at once ... We're enabling people to live well for longer" Nathan Jones @NCFCareForum asks how we can think of social care as a key delivery mechanism for change across society

@Gill_Morris kicks off the FSCC's Care Fringe here at #CPC24. "Everybody here in this conference will rely on social care at some point in their life"

To finish party conference season we will be with @The_FSCC at this Care Reception at @Conservatives conference today at 6pm so come & join in a lively conversation about why social care should be better recognised & valued for all those who draw on it and work in it #CPC24

We have had a fantastic evening at our Future Care Rally, hearing both lived experiences and from Labour politicians🌹 Huge thank you to @unisontheunion @candsalliance @ComIntCare @NCFCareForum @NationalCareAsc @ARCOtweets And a final thank you to the rally chair @AMTomchak

Brilliant to hear from Mark @DimensionsUK taking about success of #MyVoteMyVoice campaign in enabling learning disabled people to vote & Ricky who lives in @ARCOtweets extra care setting which has completely changed his life for the better @The_FSCC Care Rally

@leicesterliz at @The_FSCC committing to valuing social care’s role in supporting the whole country. We can’t get economy growing if people can’t work, can’t fix NHS if people stuck in hospital or fix child poverty if care worker pay not improved

@leicesterliz “The issue of #SocialCare is a huge issue of equality, of social justice and a huge issue for women. Care has always been undervalued because it is something that women do.. I say no more!”

Kicking things off at our Future Care Rally! #Lab24

@S_A_Russell “workers are not cared for when they are caring”

🗣️ “There’s no fixing the crisis in the NHS unless we fix the crisis in Social Care.” @wesstreeting tells us that there is a quiet determination to get social care right; for people supported, families and those that work in the sector. @The_FSCC

@wesstreeting “So many of the challenges and pressures driving the NHS crisis come from issues in social care… there will be no fixing the NHS without first fixing the #SocialCare crisis” We couldn’t agree more 👏

@SKinnock “The system is beaten but not broken” @unisontheunion @candsalliance @ComIntCare @NCFCareForum @NationalCareAsc

Our fantastic chair Anne-Marie Tomchak from @DailyMirror is starting us off by sharing her own personal experience of #SocialCare

We are looking forward to hearing from leading figures including @leicesterliz @wesstreeting and many more at today’s event! Show that you care about care and join us later on in Nova Scotia if you are at #Lab24 @Gill_Morris

After the success of our Lib Dem Conference events, we are excited to be hosting further fringes and drop-ins at #Lab24, discussing the need for immediate action when it comes to #SocialCare! We look forward to seeing lots of you there! @wesstreeting
