How can we help you?
Time is running out to #StopSleepInCrisis
The Government's bill of £400 million to the care sector is a threat to the vital support thousands of disabled people receive.
In July, the Government announced a 2 month suspension of HMRC’s enforcement action. But this did not address the catastrophic impact of the back payments on the sector.
With the 2 October deadline fast approaching, time is running out for care providers, as their future hangs in the balance.
Find out more about the devastating consequences facing the sector, and what you can do to help.

Support the #StopSleepInCrisis campaign
Government changes to 'sleep-in' payments are threatening to take away vital support from thousands of disabled people.
The care sector has been landed with a massive £400 million bill and many providers now face bankruptcy. This could mean the end of social care as we know it.
Please sign our petition to #StopSleepInCrisis by urging the Government to fix this problem, which they have created.
The future care of the most vulnerable people in our society must be protected.
