Be inspired every day with our free social care calendar

Community Care’s free social care calendar is now available to order.

The calendar features the 12 winning images from our inspiring images of social care competition, which is sponsored by Caritas recruitment.

This year’s judging panel praised the quality of all the entries, but voted the image of a weekly transgenerational session at Cranlea Care Home in Newcastle the overall winner.

Our cover pic was snapped by older people’s charity, Equal Arts, who said: “irrelevant of age, those involved are captivated by the same thing”.

What the judges said:

“I voted for Sanctuary Care’s picture of Peggy and Patricia because this is such a positive image of older women enjoying life,” said Adi Cooper, adult safeguarding lead at the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services.

Sally Cairns, professional lead for social care at Berkshire NHS Trust, said of the Child’s i Foundation’s image: “The evident bond shown here is wonderful.”

Gidon O’Hana, client relationship director at Caritas, said of another winning image from the Equal Arts charity: “Belle looks so happy and engaged with her art – you are never too old to have a great time.”

Debbie Smith, CEO of Caritas, added: “It is so important to celebrate and promote the positive impact social care workers have on service users on a daily basis and what better way to do that than this amazing calendar.”
