'Back is killing, I stink of smoke, can't afford petrol and no-one I visit knows my name'

After everything they’ve been through during this awful pandemic, it beggars belief that care workers still cant afford the basics of daily living like petrol to get to work and putting food on the table.

Our care staff do some of the most important work in society and deserve far, far better. Ministers must finally bring forward plans to fix the crisis in social care, including a long-term plan for the care workforce that gives staff the fair pay, terms and conditions that they deserve – including a Real Living Wage.
