At CCH, we believe in championing the future of care, ensuring that the voices of providers and frontline teams are heard. That’s why we were proud to be part of a vital discussion at Portcullis House, organised by the Skills for Care London CEO Network.
Our Operations Director, Sarah Kwofie, represented CCH, joining key policymakers, including Helen Morgan MP (Lib Dem Spokesperson for Health & Social Care), Munira Wilson MP (MP for Twickenham, covering Education and Children), and Alison Bennett MP (Spokesperson for Care and Carers). The discussion centred on the challenges facing adult social care in London.
Alison Bennett acknowledged that social care often happens “behind closed doors”, meaning it doesn’t always get the attention it deserves until people need it. Helen Morgan reaffirmed that the Liberal Democrats are committed to professionalising the sector.
Reflecting on the conversation, Sarah Kwofie shared:
“Care is the backbone of our communities. If it’s at risk, so are the millions who rely on it to live with dignity and independence. The sector needs fair funding and real recognition of the vital role care plays in people’s lives. It was encouraging to see policymakers engage and show concern for the sector. I felt that they do care for the people, as we do, and left feeling hopeful that real solutions will come to the table.”
At CCH, we remain committed to working collaboratively with sector leaders, policymakers, and organisations like Skills for Care to ensure that adult social care gets the investment, recognition, and support it truly deserves.
