Care Lobby 2012
On 6 March 2012 Mencap joined over 60 other organisations and 1000 lobbyists as part of the Care and Support Alliance to lobby MPs on social care reform. Online, the world's first #twobby (a virtual lobby) enabled hundreds more to join in virtually and interact with other lobbyists and MPs.
Thank you to everyone who took part in the @carelobby2012 and #twobby yesterday, your help made a huge difference!
Was great to see @leicesterliz take the time to join in with the #carecrisis lobby today. We need to change the way we pay for care #twobby
You can still take part online - we still need to urge the Government to reform social care. Find out more: ow.ly/9uIs9 #twobby- Thank you to everyone who came to the lobby today and took part in the #twobby - we made an impact but the #carecrisis is not over
Good mtg with my MP Patrick Mercer #careincrisis #twobby today. Interested to hear more on ways forward on finance & quality of #socialcare
@Richard4Watford Brilliant news from our MP! Glad you are taking this important matter further! #twobby @Carelobby2012

Met my constituent Sandra Lester today during #CareCrisis lobby of Parliament. Govt must get to grips with the current care crisis
