Paragon Skills become sponsor for The Care Workers’ Charity
We are thrilled to announce that Paragon Skills has become an official Sponsor for The Care Workers’ Charity, an award-winning organisation dedicated to supporting the well-being of care workers across the UK.
About The Care Workers’ Charity
The Care Workers’ Charity advocates for the recognition of carers and campaigns for their rights, challenging misconceptions and striving to improve working conditions and secure better funding for the care sector. They shine a spotlight on the selfless individuals in various caregiving roles, from nurses and home healthcare aides to social workers and therapists. These dedicated professionals provide physical, emotional, and psychological support to those facing illness, disability, or challenging life circumstances, offering comfort, companionship, and a sense of dignity to those who need it most.
Since 2016, the charity has provided over 12,500 care workers with nearly £6.2 million in Crisis, Covid-19, Funeral, and Mental Well-being and Health grants. Their support is crucial in maintaining a healthy and motivated social care workforce.
The charity offers financial assistance to care workers experiencing hardship, helping them cover unexpected costs such as funerals or essential household items. Additionally, they provide access to qualified therapists and mental health first-aider training, ensuring care workers have the emotional support needed to continue delivering high-quality care.
