🌍 Today, on World Social Work Day 2024, I want to take a moment to reflect on my personal and professional journey within the social care sector and to share the story behind my decision to establish a cleaning business that works alongside social workers to support individuals in improving their lives through living in clean and safe homes. 🤝 Having witnessed the transformative impact of social workers in my previous roles, I recognised the importance of creating a holistic approach to support vulnerable individuals in our society. I understood that a clean, comfortable and safe home environment plays a significant role in a person's overall well-being and sense of dignity. With this in mind, I embarked on a mission to establish a cleaning business that aimed to provide compassionate and non-judgemental practical support to individuals who are working with social workers to overcome various challenges and improve their quality of life. 🏠 Collaborating with social workers, I have the privilege of working directly with individuals and families who may be facing physical limitations, poor mental health, inadequate housing or other circumstances that hinder their ability to maintain a clean and safe home. By offering professional cleaning and biohazard services, I aim to alleviate the often overwhelming burden of knowing where to start in the process of creating a safe, more comfortable space. In working alongside social workers, I have witnessed the profound positive impact that a clean home can have on individuals' mental well-being, self-esteem, and overall sense of stability. It not only enhances their living conditions but also helps to restore a sense of pride and control over their lives. Together, we are empowering individuals to focus on their personal growth, relationships, and pursuit of their goals. On this World Social Work Day, let us recognize the power of collaboration and innovation in supporting individuals to improve their lives. By combining the efforts of social workers and my cleaning business, we are creating a comprehensive approach that addresses both the emotional and practical needs of those we serve. Together, we strive to make a lasting difference in the lives of individuals and families, fostering a sense of hope, dignity, and empowerment. 🌟 #WorldSocialWorkDay #CleaningBusiness #Collaboration #SupportingLives #HolisticApproach #Empowerment #MakingADifference #PersonalExperience #ProfessionalJourney #SocialWork #Inclusion #Equity #SocialCareSector #SocialWork #ChangeMakers #Community

Is it about time we had a rethink about Social Care: A Collective Responsibility In a fast evolving world, our understanding and approach to social care must also advance. To me social care isn't just about providing services to those who need it—it's about fostering an inclusive community where everyone feels valued and supported. Just Imagine a society where social care is a shared responsibility. Where businesses, governments, and individuals come together to create supportive networks. It's a paradigm shift from a reactive to a proactive stance—where we don't just wait for problems to arise but continuously work towards a healthier and more resilient community. So here’s some questions about I’ve been considering and it would be interesting to hear what’s some folks thoughts are : 1. How can businesses integrate social care into their corporate culture? 2. What role should technology play in enhancing social care systems? 3. How can we measure the long-term impact of effective social care I’d love to start a discussion on #SocialCare and hear ways to collectively build a more compassionate and supportive network .
