We deploy 400 qualified healthcare assistants across North East London, delivering in excess of 6000 hours of care each week. We've won several awards for Best Social Business due to our transformative employment practices. We're at the forefront of care robotics and automation in our sector, working with the UK's top robotics firms to shape the care robotics marketplace, and always searching for more partners.As Chair I am now focused on our philanthropic work, mainly setting up a public health centre in our ancestral village in Bangladesh with an emphasis on maternity care. I would really love to meet anyone who can help us with this, and am actively looking for people with NGO governance expertise and experience of healthcare management in developing countries.

HOME CAREWe provide personal care, health care and practical support to elderly people and adults with disabilities across London and Essex. We specialise in dementia care, Parkinson's, autism and other conditions.

We are an Approved Supplier for the NHS Pan-London group and we deliver local authority contracts across North East London. We also welcome private clients.CARE ROBOTICSThree Sisters Care was awarded £2million seed funding by Innovate UK's Long Term Care Revolution Challenge. We are exploring robotic solutions for supporting housebound people to remain independent in their own homes and to reduce the burden on a care sector that cannot at the moment meet demand. Consortium members are Bristol Robotics Lab, Shadow Robot Company (London), Designability (based in Bath), Smart Homes and Buildings Association and Telemetra Associates. This project ended in 2018 and we are currently looking for business and tech partners with whom to take our prototype forward.SOCIAL ENTERPRISEThree Sisters Care is committed to increasing the economic independence, social influence and independent mobility of the women in our communities through our workforce development activities. We offer free and subsidised training in health and social care, work shadowing opportunities and then full employment to women who want to enter the workforce for the first time. www.threesisterscare.co.uk

Healthwatch works at a local and national level to improve health services. We commission and collate research and feedback; we take evidence built on consumers' views and experiences and use it to help shape and improve local services. We pass on information and recommendations to Healthwatch England and the Care Quality Commission. We have statutory powers to 'enter and view' healthcare services.
