After decades of reviews, commissions and promises, could this finally be the moment adult social care sees meaningful reform?

Following the Prime Minister's speech launching the Big Conversation on Care, MHA Chief Executive Sam Monaghan has shared his thoughts on what needs to happen next.

While the commitment to social care reform is welcome, good intentions alone won't be enough. Social care needs sustainable funding, recognition for its workforce, and action that matches the ambition.

As part of Dementia Action Week, we’re looking at the importance of connection and community.

Living with dementia doesn’t mean facing it alone.

Dementia cafés, support groups and community events offer a safe and welcoming space for people living with dementia and their families to connect, share experiences and find support.

Care homes also play an important role, providing not just care and support, but a sense of community, routine and belonging.

If you or someone you know is affected by dementia, reaching out can make a real difference. You can find more information at https://mha.org.uk/care-support/types-care-support/dementia-care
