Independent Adult Social Care Initiative

Listening today. Improving care tomorrow.

Project Legacy is an independent initiative dedicated to improving adult social care by listening to the people who experience it every day. We believe every voice matters, because every shared experience brings us closer to better care.

Real change begins by listening. Every experience shared helps us better understand how dignity can be protected across adult social care.

Our Mission

Restoring dignity through trusted systems that give a voice to people who feel unheard.

Project Legacy exists to understand the real experiences of people receiving care, families and professionals, and use those insights to help improve adult social care for everyone.

We believe lasting change begins by listening.

What We're Doing

Turning lived experience into meaningful change.

Project Legacy is currently focused on one simple question:

How can adult social care better protect the dignity of the people it serves?

To answer that, we're listening to the people who live and experience adult social care every day—those receiving care, their families and the professionals who support them every day.

By bringing these voices together, we aim to identify practical opportunities to improve care, strengthen trust and support meaningful change across the sector.

Our Values

The values that guide us.

Everything we do begins with these five values. They shape how we listen, how we learn and how we build.

Dignity

Listening

Truth

Every person deserves to be treated with dignity, respect and compassion.

We listen first. Every voice matters, and every experience deserves to be heard.

We follow the evidence honestly—even when it challenges our assumptions.

Trust

Innovation

Trust is earned through honesty, transparency and doing what we say we'll do.

We build practical solutions that improve people's lives without losing sight of their humanity.

Share Your Experience

Help us understand what dignity really looks like.

Every day, people experience moments in care that deserve to be heard—both the good and the bad.

Whether you receive care, support a loved one or work in adult social care, your experience can help us better understand where dignity is protected, where it is lost and how care can be improved for everyone.

Every response is read by a real person and treated with care, respect and confidentiality.
