Max Parmentier , co-founder and CEO of Birdie, emphasised the importance of community in the sector, stating, "The social care sector has long been underserved when it comes to connection, with few opportunities to meet peers, support each other and learn from each other. At Birdie, we believe that it 'takes a village'?to deliver a sustainable and effective system of health and social care, so with Flock, we're taking the first steps to bring that to life. This community, and its wealth of resources, are part of a movement towards enhancing the lives of those we care for through collective knowledge and creating our sector's own roadmap for success."

Flock is now welcoming new members who are passionate about making a tangible difference in the social care landscape, and who want to support each other by sharing their learned experiences. For more information on Flock and how to join, please visit?Birdie | Communities: Flock.
