There are 1.6 million care workers in the UK, contributing to one of the largest workforces, and caring for some of the most vulnerable people in our society. For the UK'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.

Sparkle for Social Care is about wearing, waving or creating something sparkly on April 13th and donating a pound (or more if you can) to this important cause.

Oakland Care will be match funding the amount raised by our incredible team.

Come on team Oakland! lets #SparkleforSocialCare
