On my way to More Than a Provider event with @socfuture @Certitude @unitedresponse looking forward learning how providers can be better allies to people they support and meeting colleagues from across the sector in person for the first time!

Its going to be a jam pack day @socfuture with sessions looking at topics from how to host a public living room to reframing social care. Personally looking forward to the communal ice breaker dance 🕺🏽 🪩 @unitedresponse @meetmacintyre @Certitude

Important take away from the opening speeches - we all share the vision of @socfuture to live in the place we call home with the people and things that
we love, in communities where we look
out for one another, doing things that
matter to us 🙌🏻 #MoreThanAProvider @unitedresponse

Great to hear about @MadeByMortals. Love how they adapted to the pandemic finding new ways for people to create participatory art when it was impossible to be creative in the same space together #MoreThanAProvider @socfuture @meetmacintyre @unitedresponse

Learning how to be a @Camerados_org - joy, allyship, active listening and most importantly big pants #MoreThanAProvider @socfuture @meetmacintyre @unitedresponse

Feeling uplifted by the work that @2Buwakefield and @SupportedLoving @Choice_Support do to support the #LGBT learning disability community in Wakefield #PrideMonth #MoreThanAProvider @socfuture @unitedresponse @meetmacintyre

Enjoying the immersive and moving experience of @MadeByMortals Hidden case studies with Catherine @unitedresponse area manager for Greater Manchester #MoreThanAProvider @socfuture @meetmacintyre

Interesting to hear about the benefits but also the challenges around social prescribing - one of which being lack of funding creating a postcode lottery #MoreThanAProvider @socfuture @unitedresponse @meetmacintyre

Closing the #MoreThanAProvider event are the brilliant @meetmacintyre Dance Syndrome performing to Wuthering Heights and getting the whole crowd joining in! What a brilliant day 🕺🏽 #SocialCareFutures @socfuture @unitedresponse @meetmacintyre
