We Care Day was Friday 14 September 2018. It was a day when our members up and down the country gave the own volunteer time to give even more back to their communities.
Each of our members pledged time to give something extra back to residents, customers and communities. This could have been a lunch break activity, an afternoon or a day volunteering in our communities.
We hoped We Care Day would 'raise' at least 1000 hours for our communities. But we smashed with almost 3000 hours!

"Whilst some societal scars may last longer than the virus itself, there has been an explosion of energy, compassion, collaboration and innovation, which as a sector we have a continued role and responsibility to help harness, support and foster." We agree @LonghurstGroup https://t.co/aBgNzsWGnO
