Support Announced For Care Workers’ Charity

Belmont Healthcare is proud to announce their commitment to The Care Workers’ Charity by signing up to the charity’s supporter membership package.

Now in need more than ever, The Care Workers’ Charity provides financial support in the form of crisis grants to help care workers, and people with other roles within social care that may find themselves struggling.

Adam Hutchison, Managing Director at Belmont Healthcare says: “Supporting this charity is very close to my heart. Care workers are always there for people when they need help; this charity makes sure someone is there for them when they need help.

During the pandemic many people working in the adult social care sector were hit hard. Many contracted COVID-19 and needed to isolate, the strain on health and finances has been huge. From rent arrears to needing support to buy a new washing machine – simply because a care worker might not have the savings to cover the cost.

Adam continues to say: “I am pleased to be able to contribute to help any care worker in need and I would urge you to do the same. Donate the cost of your usual daily takeout cup of coffee and make a positive difference to care workers life.”

The Care Workers’ Charity (CWC) was founded in 2009 with the objective of supporting current and former care workers with one-off crisis grants. In 2020 the CWC raised £3.2million and paid out almost £2million in Covid-19 Emergency Fund grants and over £200k in Crisis Grants to over 3,000 care workers in need.
