Professional Care Workers’ Week 2025: Hearing from Care Workers
2025-09-12 08:00 - 2025-09-19 17:00 (Europe/London) | UK
The Care Workers’ Charity proudly invites you to Professional Care Workers’ Week (PCWW) 2025, celebrating its eighth year of recognising the vital contributions of care workers across the UK. This year’s event, co-produced with our amazing Care Worker Advisory Board, promises to bring frontline voices directly into the conversation, spotlighting the real experiences and insights of the Adult Social Care workforce.
Running from Friday 12th – Friday 20th September, PCWW 2025 will feature a series of in person events and free virtual panels and information sessions led by care workers and with care managers, and influential figures from across the sector. These sessions are free and accessible to all, offering opportunities for learning, collaboration, and advocacy from anywhere in the UK.
How You Can Get Involved
We encourage participation from everyone—both within and beyond the care sector—by:

Attending our insightful virtual sessions.
Raising funds to support care workers.
Organising local events to celebrate and honour colleagues in your workplace or community.

Why “Professional” Matters
The term “Professional” is central to PCWW, as it highlights the skilled and essential nature of care work. Despite their critical roles, care workers often face challenges such as low pay, inconsistent training, and high turnover, with 152,000 vacancies in the sector each day. It’s time to change this narrative.
Professionalisation is about:

Acknowledging the diverse skills and expertise of care workers.
Offering fair wages and pay progression in line with training and responsibilities
Providing clear career pathways and professional development.
Recognising the immense societal value of care workers.

For those receiving care, professionalisation brings trust, safety, accountability, and transparency. Professional Care Workers’ Week is not just a celebration; it’s a movement to elevate the status of care workers, showcase their achievements, and foster best practice sharing across the UK.
Join us in making PCWW 2025 an event to remember!

Santa in the City London
2025-12-03 | Paternoster square
Your Santa Run will begin at 7:00 pm the 4.5km route starting in Paternoster Square just by the majestic St Paul’s Cathedral. You will then run along the North bank where there will be fantastic river views, before crossing the Thames via Southwark bridge.
The route will then take you along the Thames path past Shakespeare’s Globe and then heading towards Tate Modern, where you will cross the river once again, this time over the millenium bridge. You will be able to enjoy breathtaking views of the beautifully lit St Paul’s Cathedral, before finally returning to Paternoster Square, completing a truly iconic route!
No previous experience is needed for a run like this. The route is 4.5km, relatively flat and you can run, jog or walk. Santa in the City is a great way to get you into the festive spirit!
