In 2021, over 10,000 people signed our petition urging the government to ensure frontline support workers receive better pay. 

But still most support workers receive little more than the national living wage (2023 - £10.42). With the current cost of living crises, many workers are financially worse off than they were  during our #BetterPay4SocialCare campaign.  Social care organisations will continue to call on Government to increase funding to local authorities, to pass on to social care providers so that we can pay care workers what they deserve -at a minimum, the Real Living Wage 2023 rates of £10.90  per hour (£11.95 London).
