Social care is an essential part of life for many of us but navigating the system can be tricky. Getting a full picture of the different options and processes might involve looking at many different resources and talking to a few social care professionals. We aim to help you understand social care better, by giving you access to the personal experiences of other people who have been there already.

SocialCareTalk.org is run by The Dipex Charity. Through this and our other website healthtalk.org, we help millions of people each year to feel better informed, prepared and less alone in what they are going through. If we have helped you, or if you value what we do, please donate to support us below.

All of the stories on SocialCareTalk.org are collected by our University-based research partners who talk to ordinary people from across the UK in their own homes.

If you are a researcher, find out how to work with us on a resource for SocialCareTalk.org.
