🚴‍♂️ The Great British Care Cycle Relay is officially underway! 🎉

Yesterday, our relay launched in Edinburgh with an incredible 100km ride through some truly stunning Scottish scenery. 💙

Our fantastic riders began the day at Glencairn Care Home, Renaissance Care then travelled to Bandrum Nursing Home, Cunningham House Care Home and Linlithgow Care Home, HC-One where they received such a warm welcome from residents, staff and supporters along the route.

A huge thank you to all of the care homes that welcomed us throughout the day. It was wonderful to see the care community coming together, making connections and celebrating the spirit of social care. 🏡💙

Today, the relay heads to Manchester for the next leg of the journey. 🚴‍♀️
Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to champion social care across the UK!
