Our Mission
reallycare CIC is a social enterprise on a mission: to use open standards, open source software, open data, and anything else open and transparent, to improve Adult Social Care.
We believe that open source software is set to become a major force in all vertical markets in the next few years, not just technology, and social care will be no exception. Our flagship product Plait - for running homecare businesses - is built on open source libraries and will be open sourced itself.
