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.”

ALT An image showing five figures in black and white with a thick green outline around them – four women and one man, all looking at the camera with serious expressions. The background is dark with grey concentric circles and the CCPS (Coalition of Care and Support Providers in Scotland) logo at the top left. The five people are all social care and support workers who contributed to CCPS’s campaign urging the Scottish Government to change its pay commitments in the 2024-25 Budget and Rethink to £13 per hour for not for profit social care staff.
ALT An image of a young man with short dark hair and an earing. He is looking at the camera with a serious expression and her head and shoulders are surrounded by a thick green outline. The image is on a black background with grey concentric circles. The CCPS (Coalition of Care & Support Providers) logo sits at the top left. On the right-hand side is the message: “I love my job. I feel if they increase the budget, we would get more staff in, it would be more appealing to people, and they would see how rewarding it is. So I’m asking Scottish Government to: Value us, Invest in Scotland and Rethink Your Budget.” The image is part of CCPS’s Rethink to 13 campaign, which calls on Scottish Government to increase pay for social care and support staff to £13 per hour from April.
