View in browser Hi Mervelee,Campaigners like you have told us that you want us to push for a better social care system. That’s why we have joined with over 60 charities as part of the Care and Support Alliance (CSA) to write to the Chancellor, Rachel Reeves, ahead of the Autumn Budget on 30th October telling her: don’t ignore social care. Mervelee, will you spread the word by sharing the letter on social media?Yes, I’ll share on Twitter/X >Don’t have Twitter/X? No problem. Here’s some suggested wording you can use on Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn. Don’t forget to tag Chancellor Rachel Reeves or HM Treasury. Chancellor @RachelReeves, please don’t ignore social care in your Autumn Budget. As a @DementiaUK supporter, I want the Government to urgently reform social care so that millions of people affected by dementia can get the care they need. When people get the right support at the right time, it can be life-changing. Dementia UK unites with members of the Care and Support Alliance.Our work with the Care and Support Alliance explainedTogether we want to make social care work for everyone across England by urging the Government to: Increase funding for social care now and in the future. Support councils to reduce waiting times for care assessments. Develop a new National Carers Strategy for unpaid carers that urgently reviews the benefits, leave and breaks that carers are entitled to. Improve pay, conditions and development for social care staff to address significant workforce vacancies.This Government has the power to transform the lives of millions of people affected by dementia. Thanks for campaigning to help make that happen.Best wishes,Beth Clayton-Exworth Campaigns and Engagement ManagerP.S.
