Care Homes provide a residential setting for people that require 24 hour care. The majority of Care Homes provide services for older people, but some offer services to Children and those with Mental or Sensory Impairments.

All Care Homes in the UK are registered, inspected and listed by the relevant authority, which in England and Wales is currently the Care Quality Commission (CQC) There are two main categories of care home; those which provide only personal care and those which also provide nursing care. In addition, some Care Homes provide specialist care, eg for Dementia or Terminal Illness

Care Homes are often run by groups. In these instances we provide the group name and details and record a link from each home to its parent organisation, but we list each home as separate entities due to each having their own considerations/services.

Type of ownership:

The database details the type of ownership of the Homes

Private Homes run by individuals, partnerships and public and private limited companies.

Voluntary Homes that are run by Charities such as The Leonard Cheshire Foundation or Mencap.

Public Homes that are run by Local Authorities and NHS Trusts

Number of beds:

We list the number of Beds for each organisation. The average size of home is approximately 20 beds, whilst only 10% have more than 50 beds. There are almost 3,000 homes with five or fewer beds. These usually provide very specific types of care, including provision for Care in the Community and, if privately owned, should not normally be regarded as commercial undertakings.

Following large transfers of Social Housing stock from the Public Sector over the past twenty years, Housing Associations are now the major provider of social housing in the UK. The largest own thousands of houses but at the other end of the scale are very small organisations such as ancient Almshouse Charities, each owning a cottage or two and overseen by a part time Chairman or a Secretary.

The legal status and ownership of Housing Associations and Trusts is often complex. In some instances, a single management team may manage two or more Housing Associations which are distinct legal entities, for example one Charitable and one non-Charitable.

Housing Associations vary in the scope of their operations. The largest may cater for all types of tenants requiring public housing, whilst many of the smaller ones may cater for specific groups, for example, elderly residents of a certain parish or retired miners. The YMCAs and Foyers provide housing accommodation for single young people whilst the Abbeyfield Societies are voluntary bodies providing sheltered accommodation or nursing homes for the elderly.

How the data is organised:

Parent/Subsidiary Organisations - Housing Associations are regularly merging and renaming themselves. They are often managed in complex groups, with parent and subsidiaries organisations, some sharing their corporate management. Where there is a shared management team across a group, we list these contacts at the group organisation and not against each subsidiary, in order to avoid duplication.

Principal Contact - One person at each Association is identified as the "Chief Officer". In larger organisations this will normally be the Chief Executive or Director. In smaller Associations, it may be the Secretary or occasionally the Chairman, as requested by each organisation.

Job Functions - In addition to the Chief Officers we list a large number of other management posts. Due to the variety of job titles among Associations, we categorise by job function to identify responsibilities.

Units Owned/Managed - As well as recording the organisational structures, we also record the number of "units" each organisation owns/manages. "Units" can be anything from a detached house to a flat or a room or bed space in a nursing home or hostel.

In January 2025, Google remained by far the most popular search engine in the UK, holding a market share of ***** percent across all devices. That month, Bing had a market share of approximately **** percent in second place, followed by Yahoo! with approximately **** percent. The EU vs Google Despite Google’s dominance of the search engine market, maintaining its position at the top has not been a smooth ride. Google’s market share saw a decline in the summer of 2018, plummeting to an all-time-low in July. The search engine experienced a similar dip in June and July 2017. These two low points coincided with the European Commission’s antitrust charges against the company, both of which were unprecedented in the now decade-long duel between both parties. As skepticism towards search engine platforms grows in line with public concern regarding censorship and data privacy, alternative services like Duckduckgo offer users both information protection and unfiltered results. Despite this, it still held less than *** percent of the industry’s market share as of June 2021. Perception of fake news in the UK According to a questionnaire conducted in the United Kingdom in 2018, **** percent of respondents had come across inaccurate news on social media at least once before. Rising concerns over fake news, or information which has been manipulated to influence the public has been a hot topic in recent years. The younger generation however, remains skeptical with nearly **** of Generation Z claiming to be either unconcerned about fake news, or believed that it did not exist altogether.

UK macro-moth (larger moths) distribution data from the National Moth Recording Scheme (NMRS) database, run by Butterfly Conservation. This dataset comprises occurrence records of macro-moths collected by volunteers, professionals and the public. The data include records of all macro-moth species, excluding adventives and introductions. Records were made from a wide range of terrestrial habitats and throughout the year and were collated from multiple source datasets or surveys. All records were checked by local taxonomic expert volunteers (County Recorders) prior to inclusion. Records are presented at 2km x 2km (tetrad) grid square resolution (unless deemed to be sensitive records). For more information about moths, recording and the UK recording scheme please visit https://butterfly-conservation.org/moths.
