“Connected to Care’ Initiative to Celebrate Care Workers Launched

The Care Workers’ Charity has launched Connected to Care, an initiative launched this February to honour the extraordinary work of care workers across the UK.

This month-long campaign aims to celebrate the invaluable contributions of care workers who dedicate their lives to supporting some of the most vulnerable members of our society.

Care workers are the backbone of our communities, providing essential support that enables people to live with dignity, regain independence, and find comfort during difficult times. Despite their immense contributions, their efforts often go unrecognised.

Through Connected to Care, the charity is changing that narrative, and in February, are inviting everyone—individuals, communities, and organisations—to join them in shining a light on these individuals and showing our collective gratitude.

There are many ways to take part in Connected to Care and express your appreciation for care workers:
• Host an Event: Organise a gathering in your community, workplace, or school to celebrate care workers. Whether it’s a coffee morning, dinner, or a fun activity, every event helps spread the message.
• Spread the Word: Share inspiring stories about care workers on social media, in your community, or with your network to raise awareness about their vital contributions.
• Express Your Thanks: A simple thank-you can go a long way. Write a message of appreciation, share a story, or create a video to show your support.
• Join Our Valentine’s Day Virtual Run: Participate in the Virtual Valentine’s Day 10K Run. Whether you’re an avid runner or just starting out, every step you take will make a difference for care workers.

Care workers often go above and beyond to provide vital support, making a tangible difference in the lives of individuals, families, and entire communities. Their selfless dedication often comes with personal sacrifices, and yet their contributions are too often overlooked.

By participating in Connected to Care, you can help give these remarkable individuals the recognition they deserve and highlight the essential role they play in our society.
