They will celebrate the fantastic relationships that exist between the people who give and receive care, and highlight the many activities they enjoy together.

Karlonlina Gerlich, CEO of the Care Workers Charity, said: “It’s right and proper every so often to take a step back from the day to day and look at what you have achieved.

“Care workers do such amazing work, bringing companionship, care and comfort to so many people.

“It’s wonderful to have the opportunity to celebrate what they do.”
