“Fulfillment comes from people and purpose. It comes from the relationships you have and from doing things in your life that give you a sense of meaning.” Powerful article on loneliness and the importance of social connection ⬇️ theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2…

Don't miss out on this online panel discussion about inclusive support for LGBTQ+ older people taking place next Friday (16 Feb). I am part of the panel together with some stellar academics with expertise in this field. Sign up here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/caring-for-t…

Positive and realistic view of social work with people who are living in our community. Not fireworks and accolades. Just supporting people to live a good life, whatever their age or circumstances... 🤍

How can a social worker help older people?

Following their research into the contribution of social workers to older people's well-being, we worked with @SWOPresearch to create an animation for older people, their carers and families.

“That is why we are launching this campaign to get the nation thinking differently about ageing, for the benefit of us all as we grow older.”

Great to see our @AgeWithoutLimit campaign in The Hippocratic Post 🏳️‍🌈: hippocraticpost.com/ageing/are-you…

We welcome the practical recommendations to help ease pressure on adult social care, as well as long term reform in Hft Care England 💚 report. ASC faces an impossible situation and disabled and older people are paying a high price.

Back from absence and log in to see this. Thank you #socialcarefuture Here's to 2024... ✳

Everyday, social workers help people and families who are deeply impacted by poverty.
