Have Your Say on Adult Social Care in East Ridin

Residents, carers, and organisations across the East Riding of Yorkshire are being invited to take part in an important conversation about the future of adult social care.

Led by East Riding of Yorkshire Council, this engagement opportunity is your chance to share experiences, shape services, and influence how support is delivered across local communities.

Why This Matters

Adult social care plays a vital role in supporting people to live independently, stay well, and remain connected to their communities. This includes support for:

• Older people
• People with disabilities
• Individuals with long-term health conditions
• Carers and families

With increasing demand and changing needs, it’s more important than ever that services are shaped by the people who use them.

Get Involved

The council is encouraging a wide range of voices to take part in this consultation. Whether you access services, support others, or work in the VCSE sector, your insight is valuable.

By getting involved, you can:

• Share your experiences of current services
• Highlight what is working well
• Suggest improvements or new ideas
• Help shape future priorities

A Role for the VCSE Sector

The VCSE sector plays a crucial role in supporting adult social care locally—often providing early intervention, community-based support, and helping to reduce pressure on statutory services.

This consultation is a great opportunity for organisations to:

• Advocate for the communities they support
• Share frontline insight and lived experience
• Influence how services are designed and delivered

Your voice can help ensure that services are more inclusive, accessible, and responsive to real need.

Building Better Services Together

By working together—residents, organisations, and the council—we can help create a system that:

• Supports independence and dignity
• Reduces isolation and inequality
• Connects people to the right support at the right time
