Become a Champion of Care – Join the 500!
This year, The Care Workers’ Charity is on a mission to recruit 500 organisations to step up as Champions of Care.
Are you ready to take your place in the chain?
We’re inviting people and organisations across the care sector to make a one-off £500 pledge – the average value of a crisis grant that provides urgent, practical support to a care worker in need. One pledge. One care worker supported. Real impact.
Take the £500 Challenge
- Pledge £500 to support care workers.
- Receive your digital Champion of Care badge to proudly showcase your commitment.
- Tell us who nominated you because every link in the chain matters.
- Nominate at least one other organisation or individual to match your pledge and keep the movement growing.
The Champion Chain
This is more than a pledge – it’s a ripple effect.
When you nominate someone, and they nominate someone else, the chain continues… and grows stronger with every link. Our goal is 500 organisations supporting at least 500 care workers this year, and we know the sector can make it happen.
And to add a little friendly competition:
The person or organisation who nominates the most Champions by 31st December 2026 will win a box of 6 Virgin Wines and a luxury swee treat box from Hotel Chocolat.
Impact and indulgence? We love to see it.
Why It Matters
The Care Workers’ Charity provides critical financial support, access to mental health services, and advocacy to the social care workforce. By joining the Champion of Care Pledge, you are directly supporting the wellbeing of care workers who dedicate their lives to supporting others.
“Care workers are the backbone of our society, yet they are often underappreciated and undervalued. This International Women’s Day, we are calling on businesses and individuals to pledge their support, helping to ensure care workers receive the urgent assistance they need. A £500 pledge can make a life-changing difference. Let’s accelerate action and create a sector that truly values and supports its workforce.”
Karolina Gerlich, CEO of The Care Workers’ Charity
