We hope you find Better Care Guide useful. It is one of the first projects from ReallyCare CIC, a not-for-profit company set up to encourage and facilitate better practice in social care provision through the use of open source software and open data.
Although ReallyCare is a not-for-profit company we have running costs like everyone else and we would appreciate contributions.
