From today, members of both Air LLA and Air Mortgage Club will be able to subscribe to Care Box on either a monthly or annual basis.

Gary Little, commercial director of Air Group, said: “The UK’s care system is undeniably complex and constantly changing, and while our academy and mortgage club members might not be specialist advisers in this area, the likelihood is they will be asked general questions by clients on a whole range of care-related topics.

“This is why we are working with Care Box to ensure that those advisers who wish to expand their knowledge, or indeed are looking at potential opportunities in the care market, can use the vast range of resources available online in order to support their learning.

“The team at My Care Consultant, who are behind Care Box, have unparalleled expertise in this market and we couldn’t wish to work with a better operation in this space.

“We are looking forward to helping them develop this new proposition and to helping our members access an incredible resource.”

Jacqueline Berry, founding director of My Care Consultant & Care Box, added: “My Care Consultant (MCC) helps consumers navigate the complex social and health care systems that operate across the UK.

“We also help financial advisers deliver comprehensive care propositions to their clients.

“To this end we built Care Box Online to provide support to advisers on both non-regulated and regulated care advice, whether they provide care advice in-house or outsource to a specialist like MCC.

“We are proud to be an ambassador of Air, and we are delighted that they have chosen to work with us in this way as we believe the partnership will provide valuable support to advisers and firms in this important, growing market."

Air Group will allocate reward points, as part of its Air Rewards scheme, to every member choosing a monthly or annual subscription.

The adviser can then choose to exchange these points for cash or donate to charity.

Air Rewards allows advisers to earn points when they complete any business through the group.
