The Casey Commission is an independent commission to undertake a review of adult social care.

The Commission is keen to hear people’s views and/or experiences of adult social care, and what is important to you.

Your voice matters as a carer as much as someone who is cared for.

The ‘Big Conversation on Social Care’ is an opportunity for everyone in England to have their say on the future of adult social care.

You can join The Big Conversation online here: https://caseycommission.co.uk/bigconversation/take-part/

😃 Our Outreach officer Shirin had a wonderful time being involved in this initiative from the St Philip's Centre Ltd.

Shirin enjoyed going for afternoon tea in Tugby and then was part of the Bengali women's group who welcomed the village group to St Peter's in Highfields.

A truly uplifting time for everyone.

"It just shows how people in Leicester are working together" ❤️

Afternoon tea is helping to build new friendships as part of an exchange scheme connecting rural Leicestershire churches to religious communities in the city.
