Care & Support Alliance was set up in July 2009. It is a consortium of over 50 organisations that represent and support older and disabled people, including disabled children, those with long-term conditions and their families, and campaigns to keep adult care funding and reform on the political agenda. The Alliance is holding a lobby on Tuesday 6th March 2012 in London to tell MPs that a change in social care is urgently needed. One of our members has contacted us to say that you can add your voice to the Lobby if you are unable to attend by contacting your local MP.
