Pimp My Zimmer Competition 2023 - Winners!


We had a fantastic response to our annual Pimp My Zimmer competition with some amazing entries and we thank all those who took the time to enter.


We have been running this competition every year since 2021, due to Zimmer Frames being a part of life for many older people but sometimes - particularly if they have dementia - they don't like using them as they cannot associate with them.


Research has shown that you can encourage your residents and service users to use their Zimmer Frame by decorating them with items or a theme that means something to them.


We are pleased to announce that this year we have joint winners from Andrew Cohen House (BJCC) and Lavender Court. The runner up was the Court House (Superior Care).

Published July 2025 (data correct as at 2024/25) Skills for Care have launched their annual report on the size and structure of ythe care workforce This provides the most up-to-date and comprehensive overview of the size and structure of the adult social care sector and workforce in England. A short, written report is available: download a copy of the report here. The methodology for this year’s report has changed from previous years. Adult social care related roles employed by the NHS are no longer included in the headline statistics for the size of the adult social care workforce. This change has been applied retrospectively to previous years, so the trends in this report are consistent. Comparing figures from this report to previous reports will not produce a valid trend. Also, our estimates for the number of filled posts in the independent sector now come from our automated data pipeline. This has resulted in substantial improvements to our estimates over time and some figures have changed as a result from previous versions of this report. For further information, see our statement.  To download the data behind the visualisation below, including trended information, please see the Workforce estimates page.
