ALT A purple card with a heading in white letters which says ‘Member Spotlight: Sense Scotland’, followed by a quote below which reads: “I hope you will join me and CCPS in calling for the Scottish Government to invest more in the social care sector and reward staff proportionately to their efforts. We can’t control the weather. But we can all play our part in making sure social care staff get what they deserve – a fair wage.” The quote is attributed at the bottom to Angela Bonomy, CEO of Sense Scotland. A picture of Angela is on the left of the quote. There is a graphic of a spotlight at the top right, with the light from it shining down onto Angela’s quote, and some concentric circles underneath. The CCPS logo is featured at the bottom right.

ALT A card showing a quote from Rachel Cackett, CEO of CCPS: “Adding the double whammy announcement yesterday of increased employer NI contributions and a reduction in the NI threshold will be catastrophic for CCPS members and many other charities, unless some form of exemption is set or contracts are increased to fully fund the policy. “So this is a plea to both the Chancellor and Scottish Ministers. Please, please work together now to ensure that a social care sector that is already at breaking point is not sunk by baking in inequities in the application of NI relief.”
