On Friday 19th September 2025, communities across the UK will unite in a vibrant show of support for care workers by taking part in Wear It Orange Day. Organised by The Care Workers’ Charity, this national event is part of Professional Care Workers’ Week and aims to raise awareness and vital funds for those who dedicate their lives to caring for others.
Whether you’re a care provider, a business, a school, or simply someone who wants to show appreciation, this is your chance to make a difference by adding a splash of orange to your day.
Who are The Care Workers’ Charity?
The Care Workers’ Charity, is a UK-based organisation that supports care workers facing financial hardship or emotional challenges.
