This March we’re Launching Words for a Cause Month, Care workers play an essential role in our communities, offering compassion, support, and dignity to those who need it most. Yet, their voices are often unheard, and their challenges remain underappreciated. That’s why we’ve created Words for a Cause Month – a dedicated time to use the power of words to amplify the voices of care workers and advocate for the recognition they deserve.
This month-long initiative is about storytelling, advocacy, and action. Through creative writing and direct communication, we aim to highlight the value of care work, address the challenges in the sector, and inspire meaningful change.
How You Can Get Involved
Enter the Words for a Cause Writing Competition
We’re inviting all current and retired care workers to share their experiences and insights through poetry, blog posts, short stories, or articles (up to 750 words). The theme is The Power of Care, and entries should reflect the vital role care workers play in our society.
Why Enter?

Share your perspective and raise awareness about care work.
Compete for prizes including £200, £100, and £50
Have your work featured in a book collating the Top 30 contributions, reaching a wider audience and amplifying your voice.

Advocate for Change: Write to Your Local MP
Advocacy doesn’t stop at storytelling. This month, we encourage care workers and supporters to write directly to their local MPs. By sharing personal stories and highlighting the challenges the care sector faces, we can urge policymakers to take meaningful action to support care workers.
Why Write to Your MP?

Personal stories have the power to influence and inspire action.
Raise awareness about the critical issues in the care sector, such as funding, pay, and working conditions.
Build momentum for change at a local and national level.

By combining creative expression with direct advocacy, Words for a Cause Month empowers care workers and supporters to make their voices heard. Together, we can shine a light on the importance of care work and advocate for a better future for everyone in the sector.
Let’s use the power of words to create change.

Share a Story: Submit your personal experiences or stories about care workers who’ve made a difference in your life. Help us highlight their incredible work.

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!
