Championing Social Care

Care Home Open Week is hosted nationally buy Championing Social Care, who are a volunteer-led group of leaders from across the social care sector. This is our chance, along with care homes up and down the country, to showcase what we do. It’ll put us at the heart of the community as we open our doors and welcome old friends and new to meet us all.
