I would like to personally say thank you to all the amazing people we work with who have supported Local Care Force on this journey. It's because of you these incredible achievements have been possible!

Leanne Silverwood

As last week marked 100 years since women got the vote, we thought it was a good time to share some of the amazing achievements of the female entrepreneur behind our business…
