There are nearly 2 million care workers in the UK, contributing to one of Britain's largest workforces, and caring for some of the most vulnerable people in our society.

For Britain's care workers, early starts, long hours and mentally draining work are part and parcel of the job. As a result, it's all too easy for illness, or other unforeseen circumstances, to push them beyond their financial limits.

In recognition of this dedicated and selfless workforce, The Care Workers Charity was founded in 2009 with the promise to provide support to those who find themselves facing the burden of economic hardship.

As a country, we depend on our care workers to be there for us on our rainy day. The Care Workers Charity is there for them on theirs.

The past 18 Months have been incredibly difficult for our care workers, but, as always, they have shone through, and supported our most vulnerable loved ones.

To raise money, awareness and support for the incredible Care Workers Charity, on October 1st 2021 members of the apetito Care Homes Team will be trekking 25km of Hadrian's Wall, come rain or shine.

Any donations you are able to contribute to this incredibly worthy cause will be so gratefully received and appreciated. 

We'll keep you posted on our progress!
