[Citizens Somerset @CitizensSomers]

Thank you @BupaUK for accepting our letter and gifts today! We at @CitizensUK look forward to meeting with you to discuss paying #LivingWage4SocialCare to care workers and all others paid below the Real Living Wage!

[Citizens UK @CitizensUK]

How much longer should care workers juggle the demands of life on low pay? 🤹

Enough is enough. That's why we are outside @Barchester_care calling on them to commit to paying staff a real #LivingWage.

"I’ve seen colleagues leave the industry because they simply cannot live off the low wages we receive, even though they love their jobs." - Annalibera, Citizens UK leader and care worker in London.

We need care workers and care workers need a real wage.

Working together for #LivingWage4CareWorkers today and asking CareUK to meet with us to discuss how paying #LivingWage will lessen staff turnover & help staff not to depend on food banks. @CitizensUK @LivingWageUK @ColCit
