@joymorrissey I say come and have a look at our profit and loss from 1 st April. We, and I know many others , will be loosing money from 1 st April 2025 unless councils/nhs are given adequate funding from 01.04.2025. It’s a 12% rise in costs

[Avant Homecare @AvantHomecare]

This really is an urgent warning. Our councils and NHS need adequate funding by 01.04.2025 to give their local social care providers the money they need to pay the 12% rise in employers NI and NMW/LLW. We have 15 days ….

🚨 Urgent Warning for Social Care 🚨

On March 19, the House of Commons will make a pivotal decision on the future of adult social care. Without immediate government intervention, the sector faces a crisis:

[V O D G @VODGmembership]

Over 70 charity leaders have written to MPs ahead of the National Insurance Bill returning to the House of Commons next week, highlighting the impact unfunded NI increases will have on the care and support disabled people, families and carers rely on.

@BritishTelecom really poor customer service … we are still waiting after 45 minutes of holding on phone.

[Avant Homecare @AvantHomecare]

@Bmsolutions321 customer services at Birmingham Midshire is not very satisfactory . Agents phone line keeps cutting out as it sounds like a mobile. Surely the customer services should be using a landline ? I am now being put through to someone else and on hold.

[Avant Homecare @AvantHomecare]

@BritishGasHelp to make things worse. , your help contact details on this Twitter account don’t work.

[Avant Homecare @AvantHomecare]

@BritishGasHelp I thought you were supposed to help older people quickly
Without heating and hot water now . No answer on phone and earliest appointment online is next Friday ? That’s not acceptable for an 84 year old ….

Avant are recruiting in West London & Surrey and support @Ageing_Better . Please email [email protected] if you are interested in a career in social care

[Ageing Better @Ageing_Better]

Unfortunately, current recruitment practises are off-putting to many older workers.

What proportion of 50-70 year olds feel disadvantaged when applying for jobs due to their age?

For any of our Avant staff using electric vehicles locally , this is great news ! Helping to make London a more greener place

[H&F Council @LBHF]

H&F Deputy Leader @BJ_Coleman told @itvlondon about our new reduced parking charges for electric vehicles.

It’s part of our move to make driving and owning an electric vehicle in H&F as easy as possible. We now have the densest network of EV charging points in London.
