Grace Cares has partnered with Care Show Birmingham 2024

Grace Cares has partnered with The Care Show Birmingham to make a remarkable impact at The Care Show Birmingham 2024, spearheading initiatives that underscore their dedication to sustainability in the care industry. This year's show is pioneering as the UK's first care event to feature a comprehensive Sustainability Zone, emphasizing eco-friendly practices and innovations.

A standout feature of the Sustainability Zone is the much-anticipated national final of the "Pimp My Ride" campaign. This creative competition, sponsored by Attis Care by Attis Insurance Brokers, has schools and colleges repurposing zimmer frames into innovative and functional pieces. Out of 11 regional entries, 6 finalists have been selected. The campaign has already received significant attention, including TV coverage. Attendees of The Care Show will have the power to vote for their favorite design, with the winner receiving a £200 prize and the prestige of being the ultimate victor. The students behind these inventive transformations will be present on day one at 10 AM, ready to discuss their projects and the inspiration behind them.

Adding to the Sustainability Zone's attractions is a thought-provoking art installation designed to highlight the issue of waste within the care industry. This installation aims to bring attention to the environmental impact of waste in care and stimulate conversation about more sustainable practices.

On the first day at midday, Grace Cares and The Caring View will jointly launch the inaugural sustainability guide tailored specifically for care managers. This guide is packed with practical advice, acknowledging that many care professionals may be unsure where to begin with sustainability efforts. By providing clear, actionable steps, the guide aims to empower care managers to integrate sustainable practices into their operations.

With the Care Quality Commission (CQC) set to regulate Environmental Sustainability from next year, the launch of this guide is timely and crucial. Grace Cares and the Caring View want to highlight the importance of staying ahead of these upcoming regulations to ensure that care providers are not left behind in this significant industry shift.

Beyond the "Pimp My Ride" campaign and sustainability guide, the show will feature a climate chart scarf auction and a competition to find the most carbon-aware attendee. These engaging activities not only add a fun element to the event but also reinforce the importance of environmental awareness and action in the care sector.

Grace Cares’ initiatives at The Care Show Birmingham 2024 are designed to inspire and equip care professionals with the knowledge and tools needed for sustainable practices. From the creative ingenuity of the "Pimp My Ride" competition to the practical guidance of the sustainability guide, and the eye-opening waste art installation, the sustainability zone is a must-attend for anyone involved in the care industry. Be part of the movement towards a greener, more sustainable future in care.
