We champion high standards, supporting members to deliver outstanding care.

We help members maintain high standards and continuously improve. Through training, webinars, resources and networking, we keep you connected to the latest thinking in our sector.

Our 40+ hand-selected patrons cover everything you need, including care technology, workforce, recruitment, compliance, risk facilities, supplier, energy, estates, legal and financial services. Members get exclusive discounts, free consultations and direct access to specialists. Whatever the challenge, we can connect you to the right people.

Voice

We speak up for our members, ensuring adult social care is heard where it matters.

When the sector needs to be heard, we make sure it is. We sit at the tables where decisions are made, locally, regionally and nationally. Our relationships with the CQC, senior commissioners, local authorities, the ICB and NHS leaders give us direct access and real influence.

We don't just attend meetings. We shape agendas, challenge decisions and pull the right people into the room. When fee negotiations come around, our collective voice carries weight that individual providers simply can't match. HCA members negotiate together.

Through SESCA and national membership bodies, that influence extends beyond Hampshire too. Your priorities become our priorities and we fight for them

Support

We offer practical guidance and signposting, so no provider faces challenges alone.

Whatever you're facing, we're here. Members get direct access to expert advice, signposting and up-to-date intelligence on changes from the CQC, local authorities, ICB and national bodies. We hold important relationships and filter the noise so you get the information that matters, when you need it.

Our peer-to-peer WhatsApp community, Hampshire Care network, regular provider forums and Skills for Care networks mean you're never navigating challenges alone. When bigger issues arise, we're here to advocate on your behalf.
