More than 2,600 people signed our original letter to the chancellor urgently calling for an immediate review of these new employer measures and for the establishment of exemptions similar to those granted to the NHS. Alternatively we asked that the Local Government Finance settlement be urgently adjusted to bridge this funding gap to date we have £880m committed but from 6th April 2025 we willrequire £2bn more.
“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.
