Care Champion’s: Are you affected by the cut backs in Home Help services?
Are you affected by cutbacks in the community?
We are uniting to give a voice to those who are most affected by these harsh decisions, and would love to hear from you.
The HSE embargo is having a detrimental effect on people in the community. We believe it is gone to far. We, as people in need of support and those who provide care for them, feel we need to stand united and give a voice to those who are suffering and in need of basic support.
We are a newly formed advocacy group and wish to hear from you so that together we can advocate for the needs of all who need care in the community.
