Inspiring Images of Social Care: Get Involved

Community Care are now running a charity photo competition starring inspiration pictures of social care in action, and we here at Stepping Out think it’s a brilliant idea.

Selected pictures will feature in Community Care’s second charity calendar. Last year, the picture below became the winning entry. The lovely photograph represented the happy, positive and rewarding side of social care that members of the public are shown far too rarely.

This year, Community Care and their sponsors Caritas want to find even more inspiring images of social care in its true form.

If you are a carer, this is your chance to show the world the moments that make you love being in social care. Your hard work and dedication shouldn’t go unnoticed, and in a world full of strenuous social care scrutiny, it’s great to see the happier, more supportive side of social care.

So, whether you’ve taken a photo at an inspiring event, seen some great service user art or an amazing drawing, why not submit it for a chance to be included in the Community Care charity calendar?
