The Care Advice Centre was
established in 2011 by qualified social worker Aleisha White. In 2018 Anna Callow joined the company as it
expanded due to the growing need for Care and Advice services.
Anna qualified with a Masters in
Social Work in 2006 and worked within Local Authority Adult Teams since this
time, being promoted to Senior Practitioner.
She is also a Practice Educator for trainee Social Workers.
In April 2019 Anna became Director
of the Care Advice Centre and was joined by Pamela Chavi in March 2020.

advice we gave, and shocked that this was free of charge, he made a generous
donation to a charity on our behalf.
