@so_says_sally thanks for pushing on this. These cuts are combined with this year's social care fee uplifts from LAs and NHS, which are as low as 0%, including for discharge projects. Disappointed doesn't come near.

[Sally @so_says_sally]

I have rarely felt the fury that I feel at todays @DHSCgovuk “announcement” on social care. A massive retreat from what was already bare minimum first steps in long term reform. So on top of previously announced delays to the cap and a better means test, here’s what we now have..

[Brunelcare @Brunelcare]

📢We are proud to announce that we have renewed our accreditation with the #LivingWage Foundation, meaning all Brunelcare employees will receive the new real Living Wage rates of £10.90 or above!🔽

@LivingWageUK @BristolCouncil

[Oona G @oonagolds]

We have worked so hard to keep the RLW for all our carers, a 10.1% increase. But gutted that nearly all our public sector commissioners have barely scrapped a 5% increase, with several LAs at 0%. Fly's in face of cost of care and platitudes about integration. @NCFCareForum

[Oona G @oonagolds]

So pleased that @Brunelcare has retained our G1/V2 status with @RSHEngland after recent IDA including pilot for consumer reg. Recognition of hard work by all.

[Regulator of Social Housing @RSHEngland]

Today we published regulatory judgements for @BCHousingGroup @Brunelcare @peaksplains @EdenHousing @greatwellhomes @HousingHexagon @HydeHousingLtd @prima_grp @SohaHousing @BerniciaGroup @NorthStarHG @RHP_UK @selwoodhousing #ukhousing

[Brunelcare @Brunelcare]

We are delighted to be part of @WestofEnglandCA £82m government funding from the Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund to retrofit 3000 homes in the South West.

This funding will help improve over 140 of our homes, making them warmer and cheaper to heat🏘️ #SHDF

Welcomed by Bristol Women's Commission on #InternationalWomensDay to talk about social care as such an important equality issue. 85% of workforce female, lowest paid, with poor health outcomes. Needs to be seen through lens of inequality and not just care crisis.@NCFCareForum

[Gary Lineker @GaryLineker]

I have never known such love and support in my life than I’m getting this morning (England World Cup goals aside, possibly). I want to thank each and every one of you. It means a lot. I’ll continue to try and speak up for those poor souls that have no voice. Cheers all. 👊🏻

Gearing up @Brunelcare to be part of this @RSHEngland pilot in 2 weeks time. Hope to learn from it too.

Grt to talk to @TomSwarbrick1 just now on @LBC about the government announcements on funding for discharge - see our @NCFCareForum response here https://t.co/i2rIaRvYxi @andycole1 @CEO_Abbeyfield @AnchorLaterLife @maxineespley @blimeysimon @so_says_sally @AnitaCTHF @SteveBarclay

Care workers are not striking but arguably their need for fair pay is as important as that for nurses and paramedics.

Without enough care workers the whole system grinds to a halt.

@saralivadeas Yes, even when we come up with solutions that could be actioned straight away, we are ignored.

[Bristol Energy Network @BristolEnergyNw]

With your generosity we managed to raise £20,000 last year to help vulnerable Bristolians during Covid. Now we're running a new campaign to help people struggling to pay their energy bills this winter.
