Care4Care is a vision to address the current care crisis by mobilizing community members to provide care and support to older neighbors. Members volunteer hours of care in exchange for accumulating a "care pension" to use for their own future care needs or a relative's. The program is locally organized but follows a national framework. It has piloted successfully on the Isle of Wight in 2012 and aims to scale nationally using an identifiable idea that spreads organically through communities. The impact could be filling care gaps as the state provides less, supporting more older people than the current system, and improving quality of life through social interaction and lower-level support.

The document discusses the challenges faced in global refugee resettlement and proposes a virtual caseworker solution called HomeFluent.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis cause chronic inflammation in the digestive tract.
