Shadow chancellor and Leeds West MP Rachel Reeves has visited Summerfield Court, one of Voyage Care’s specialist brain injury rehabilitation services in her local constituency Bramley.

Reeves met with those living at the home and their support workers to discuss how the support provided enables them to live the life they choose.

Shaun Parker, chief financial officer at Voyage Care, said: “We were very proud to welcome Ms Reeves to Summerfield Court and I know that all the team and those we support appreciated the opportunity to share their stories and discuss wider adult social care sector issues with her. The people we support are at the centre of everything we do, which is why it is essential that the sector has the necessary support to ensure people are empowered to live their lives to the fullest.

“By discussing the key issues facing adult social care in the UK we hope to drive positive change and ensure high quality support is accessible to all who need it.”

Reeve said: “It was a pleasure to visit Summerfield Court to see the excellent work that is taking place to enable individuals to have independence and autonomy over their lives.

“We know that the adult social care sector is currently facing a number of challenges and by working together with organisations such as Voyage Care, we can try to tackle these and ensure everyone gets the support they need, regardless of their circumstances.”
