The National Care Forum (NCF), the leading membership organisation for not-for-profit organisations in the care and support sector, is proud to announce the release of its Impact Report 2024.
This marks the fourth edition of our Impact Report, highlighting the remarkable achievements of the NCF team, our Board, and our members during the past year.
Throughout 2024, NCF has continued to play a crucial role in supporting care and support providers, both within our membership and across the wider sector, in navigating the challenges they face daily. We have remained steadfast in keeping our members informed and equipped to respond to evolving policy landscapes and sector developments.
