Three brilliant small charities
Homecare Voices
Nominated by Changing Idea
Presented by Rachel Kelso, Founder & Managing Director
Homecare Voices is giving an almost invisible workforce a direct voice in government policy. England's 650,000 homecare workers provide essential support to some of society's most vulnerable people, yet many face isolation, poor pay and conditions. Run by homecare workers themselves, its growing network of over 800 members ensures their experiences are heard by policymakers.
They will be pitching for funding to collect 100 first-hand stories and train workers to speak publicly, strengthening campaigns to tackle the risk of minimum-wage underpayment and secure fairer conditions. This is an exciting opportunity to turn unheard voices into a powerful force for change and benefit a workforce on whom many of us will one day depend.
