Providers Unite stands firm with a clear message for government and policymakers. These are our three non-negotiable demands for the future of care and support in the UK.
We urge that no additional direct costs are imposed on the care and support sector by the Chancellor in the 26th November Autumn Statement.
We call on the Treasury to ensure that 100% of the actual cost of implementing the Social Care Fair Pay Agreement must go directly to the people who employ care and support staff not swallowed up in middle layers or commissioning gaps.
We require a guarantee that people who access care and support, unpaid carers and those who we employ, will be at the heart of every reform from workforce pay to service redesign.
We need a commitment to co-design, co-production, and real lived experience shaping the future of social care.
“A future where social care is financially stable, the whole workforce is valued with fair pay, and our services are recognised as essential to society.”
We are carers, workers, leaders, and families.
We are the backbone of care.
And we’re not going anywhere.
We represent a vital network serving over 1.2 million people and employing 1.59 million professionals—the invisible infrastructure behind our communities and the NHS. Together, we deliver essential care services valued at £68.1 billion.
Decades of underfunding and broken promises have pushed providers to the edge. But we are not standing by – we are standing together.
Providers Unite is a grassroots coalition uniting community care and support providers across the UK to demand urgent action and protect our sector from collapse.
