Community care provider Lifeways Group has become a founder patron of Championing Social Care.

The charity will bring a wealth of expertise and financial support to all its flagship programmes including Care Sector’s Got Talent; Care Home Open Week; Care Sector Fundraising Ball and #SparkleForSocialCare and provide unique insight into working with some of society’s most vulnerable people will also be invaluable.

Championing Social Care is a volunteer-led group of leaders  across the social care sector. The vision is to ensure a wider and deeper public understanding, appreciation and respect for social care.  The initiative has gone from strength to strength since its inception in 2018, and its flagship programmes are now a key part of the care sector calendar.

Mark Beadle, Lifeways’ chair, shared: “We’re delighted that Lifeways will be supporting the great work done by Championing Social Care. The work done each and every day, by our kind, compassionate and caring colleagues at Lifeways and across the care sector needs to recognised, celebrated and shouted from the rooftops.”

Niharika Noakes, Championing Social Care director, shared: “We are pleased to have the support and expertise of Lifeways Group to guide us in shining a positive light on the social care sector. We have been working with Lifeways on our flagship programmes and we are grateful for their guidance and expertise in the care sector.
