A CARE service in Basingstoke has been awarded a new contract from Hampshire County Council.

All Care, based in Basing View, has been awarded a seven-year tender from the county council for services to help older people in Basingstoke and Deane continue to live for longer in their own homes.

Having worked to support people in Hampshire for more than 14 years, the new contract means the service is able to expand.

Regional director Matt Hibberd said: “All Care is very excited to continue its working relationship with Hampshire County Council for the next seven years taking us into 2025.

“This ‘Help to Live at Home’ contract offers job security to all of our 350 staff and will create over 1,000 job opportunities to the local community over the next seven years.

“All Care are very proud to serve the local community and those who deserve the very best care. To have an authority such as Hampshire County Council want to continue working with us is a reflection of our amazing care staff team and the work they do every day.”
