Resilient Roots has now launched our Care Connect - Networking events
Connecting care. Powered by feedback. Built together.
We bring care agencies, providers and families into the same conversation — turning shared experience into better care for everyone.
At Resilient Roots, we believe good care doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens when the people delivering care and the people receiving it are genuinely connected.
Our networking events bring together care agencies, home-care providers, care homes, assisted-living facilities and the wider professionals who support them, creating a space where real conversations can shape real improvements.
But we don’t stop at professional networking: every event is designed to capture the voice of families and the people at the heart of the care journey, feeding their lived experience directly back into the room. It’s this two-way loop — providers learning from each other, and everyone learning from those they care for — that turns a one-off event into an ongoing, evolving network.
The result is care that isn’t just coordinated on paper, but continuously shaped by the people who feel its impact every day.

The Connecting Care networking series
Resilient Roots exists to capture the voice of the service user.
We know how much that insight matters, and we want to share it with the people who plan, fund and shape care services.
What do commissioners actually want from you?
You know your service.You know your people.But do you really understand what commissioners are looking for?
Join us for an honest, practical conversation with an experienced Assistant Director of Commissioning & Transformation, bringing insight from the other side of the commissioning table.
This is your chance to step away from the day-to-day and get a clearer view of where care commissioning is heading, and what it means for your organisation.
We'll be talking about
Working with commissioners
How to build relationships before the tender lands.
LA & ICB commissioning
What's different, what's changing and what providers need to understand.
Responding to bids
What makes a response meaningful, and where providers often miss the mark.
Commissioning specifications
How to read between the lines and understand what is really being asked for.
Outcomes, quality & value
Moving beyond simply describing what you do.
Provider voice
How to make sure your experience and expertise are part of the conversation.
The bigger picture
What does a changing care system mean for your organisation?
And, perhaps most importantly...
You get to ask the questions.
- No jargon-filled presentation.
- No sales pitch.
- No pretending the system is simple.
Just an opportunity to listen, learn, connect and have a genuinely useful conversation with someone who understands commissioning from the inside.
Who is it for?
- Care home owners
- Home care providers

Whether you're preparing for your first commissioning opportunity, regularly responding to tenders, looking to strengthen commissioner relationships, or simply feel your organisation needs a strategic reset, come and join the conversation.
Because better care doesn't happen in isolation.
It happens when the people commissioning, delivering, supporting and receiving care actually talk to each other.
Come for the connections.
Stay for the conversation.
Leave with a different perspective.
