Many vulnerable people have lost their social care

Julianne Baker, who lost her sight three years ago, struggles after losing care support due to tightened council eligibility criteria. This reflects a broader issue where nearly half a million people have been cut from the care system over five years, with councils citing financial constraints.

Campaigns like 'Don't Cut Us Out' argue that many will still be excluded from necessary care.
