UNFAIR TO CARE 2022-23
In December 2022, we launched the next edition of our ground-breaking Unfair to Care report, which shone a spotlight on the highly-skilled role of Support Workers whilst calling on Government to address the pay disparity between social care workers and their publicly-funded counterparts.
Since then, we’ve received widespread national and local media coverage, which helps us to continue to raise awareness and influence decision makers.
Here’s a summary of our key campaign successes:
Welcome Bewsey House!
In January, we celebrated the opening of our new Supported Living service in Warrington, Bewsey House. Formerly a care home, the service was rejuvenated and developed to support people with learning disabilities, autism and complex care needs to live independently in their own homes.
We were delighted to welcome members of the community to an open day event and even had the Deputy Mayor of Warrington join us to officially cut the ribbon!
Celebrating International Women’s Day
Championing the incredible women across our charity, we hosted a jam-packed day of activities to celebrate International Women’s Day 2023 and share our appreciation for our colleagues – including an all-women webinar panel, a Q&A session with our Colleague Inclusion Networks, and inspirational sessions on What To Do!
