Lifting the lid on Care Together projects

Thursday, 23 November 2023

During our eleventh Social Care Community of Practice meeting, we lifted the lid on the first three Care Together projects. Discover the goals of the projects and the challenges they aim to address. The BCCM’s CEO, Melina Morrison and Care Together Program Director, Gillian McFee, facilitated this discussion and Q&A and discussed the whole Care Together project pipeline at a high level.

Care work: Through the lens of the care worker

Thursday, 21 September 2023

The focus of our tenth Social Care Community of Practice was on worker co-operatives and how they attract and retain staff with high levels of consumer and staff engagement.

We drew on the Care Together project pipeline to provide some examples of worker co-operatives with a facilitated panel, including established worker co-operatives and care work discussed through the lens of a care worker.

We updated attendees on the Care Together Program, drawing on feedback from our first progress report and insights to inform next stages.

About the Social Care CoP

The Social Care Community of Practice is part of the Care Together Program, which is an online place where people and organisations interested in the potential of co-operatives and mutuals in social care can come together to learn from the funded projects, share ideas and access education and training to build capacity and understanding about alternative ownership models.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to contact Nicole Vlakic.

Watch out for our Care Together project wrap up in your inbox later this month.
