The road ahead

A half a century is too long to wait
Next Friday (29 May) is the 50th anniversary of the Equal Pay Act. Whilst we have come so far, the work that women do, and women themselves, are consistently undervalued. None more so than women in the social care sector.
📢📢📢 Next week we will be highlighting low pay in the care sector and how it impacts women. Watch our social channels and help us amplify women's voices by sharing their stories and calling for action. 📢📢📢
And don't miss our next #CoronaConversations event:
