Campaign Launch 2025

Thank You!

In January 2025, we held our official Campaign Launch and Lobby at Westminster Hall in the House of Commons. We are extremely proud of what was an extremely successful day, made even more impactful by the support from so many family members, MPs, peers, journalists, and professionals in the adult health and social care sector. We can’t thank everybody enough for the incredible show of support we received.

Another big thank you to our brave speakers- Humphrey Hawksley, Trish Gange, and Peter Owen- for sharing their powerful personal stories.
