With future sessions as diverse as activity classes with wrestling superstars, opera performances, gold medallists, and exclusive behind-the-scenes access to transport museums, there is something to suit every interest in the months ahead. 

Developed by our charity, www.What-To-Do.co.uk has been created to support our mission of enabling people to live the Best Life Possible. The platform received the prestigious ‘Best Initiative’ award at the 2022 National Care Awards for its impact and innovation, having delivered over 30,000 hours of life-enhancing and free experiences with the support of major names and world-class partners. 

www.What-To-Do.co.uk is carefully co-produced with ‘The Doers’ – a team of individuals who enjoy exciting experiences and contribute ideas for this unique site, sharing their lived experience of accessing social care. Community Integrated Care warmly welcomes anyone who wishes to contribute to this forum and help shape future ideas for the site. 

John Hughes, Director of the Partnerships and Communities team, expressed his excitement about the relaunch, “We are thrilled to unveil the new look of What To Do. This Summer season represents a vibrant array of events and experiences. We hope it will become a weekly fixture for many people who access care and support across the country.”

“We are immensely grateful to all our amazing delivery partners for their support in providing meaningful, life-enhancing, inclusive opportunities. We are especially thankful to our Doers, for helping to contribute such wonderful ideas. As we enter this new and exciting chapter, we can’t wait to welcome more people to enjoy extra special experiences.” 

Louise Lamkin, Volunteer ‘Do’er’, Supported by the charity added, “I love What To Do. I have got the chance to do so many amazing things. I have met celebrities and made friends for life. I’m so excited to see what’s coming soon – It will be epic. So glad I got the chance to help make What To Do great!”
