Glad to Care Awareness Week is a celebration of the UK's incredible social care workforce. It is a chance for us to show our appreciation for all of the remarkable contributions that our carers make, and to thank them for their hard work and sacrifices throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.

This campaign launched in 2018, and was designed to boost the profile of carers, as they generally do not receive recognition to match the hard work that they put in. Through recognising their contribution, we hope to boost the morale of the UK's care workers and make them feel appreciated.

You can use the hashtag #GladtoCare on your social media account s to share your stories about social care workers and the contribution that they make in their daily working lives.
