The Founder of alice chilton, the in-home care provider, Karen Perry has been proactive in campaigning for greater funding for Care workers, to ultimately ensure the best standards of care for all and to also to raise the profile of Care workers and recognise the great work they do.

“The level of funding varies from council to council and most cases isn’t sufficient to guarantee the Care worker the minimum wage. Whilst I fully understand the financial challenges our councils face I believe that given a choice most of us would prioritise funding for this valuable role.
“We need to work together to ensure the very best standards of care for all, no matter where you live or whether your care is funded by the local authority or paid for privately. One way to achieve this is to recruit great people and pay the appropriate wage.”
Karen has established an online petition to raise awareness of the issue and to encourage everyone with a concern for vulnerable adults and the elderly, and the level of care they can expect in their homes, to get involved. She has also approached local councillors, MP’s and other care industry professionals to engage in the debate.
