Events and networks

Wakefield Care Association is a not-for-profit organisation serving as the recognised representative body for independent, private, and VCSE adult social care providers across Wakefield. We provide a unified, strong voice and a supportive network for our members.

We prioritise building strong, collaborative relationships with key partners. By engaging in constructive and meaningful dialogue with stakeholders, we aim to inform and influence decision-makers within the care sector.

Our goal is to support and empower care providers to share and develop best practices, while offering opportunities for training and professional growth. Together, we strive to create a better social care and health experience for everyone – whether accessing services or working within the sector.
