Care Quality Commission approval for Kingsway Care
LGBTQ+ inclusive Kingsway Care has been approved by the Care Quality Commission, meaning that it is regulated for personal care (dementia, live in, respite, emergency, palliative), which is at the core of its service.
Olly Carter, managing director, said: “We continue to offer, as we have done for the last six months, a broad range of other support services - housework, gardening, pet care, health & beauty, transport, shopping & meals, home technology, home safety - and companionship.”

The organisation also buddied up with AgeUK for the winter and has been helping it with emergency support packages, such as support after hospital discharges.
Kingsway Care’s other big news is that it has gone live with its website www.kingswaycare.com where you will find an LGBTQ+ community page.
It has also started to offer some online events, such as weekly quizzes and music shows through its Facebook @ kingswaycaresussex, and YouTube channel: https://tinyurl.com/ouqhd4yo. The quizzes are run by Dave Taggart who has been touring with Belinda Carlisle as her guitarist for some 20 years.
May is being slated as the month the organisation will move into 22 Victoria Terrace, Hove, with a community space and café. Kingsway Coffee Club will be run by Scott Burey aka Drag With No Name and his manager/partner, Darren, with community events and activities planned (for normal times).
