Good Care Month is celebrated throughout July to highlight the vital role of care workers across the UK. It’s a time to recognise, support, and encourage the people who dedicate their lives to caring for others — and to inspire more people to join this essential workforce.

What is Good Care Month?

Good Care Month is a national campaign that takes place every July to raise awareness of the care sector and promote careers in care. It aims to highlight the positive impact that care workers make on people’s lives — from supporting the elderly to caring for individuals with disabilities or long-term conditions.

The campaign is supported by care providers, NHS bodies, local councils, and charities across the UK. It provides a platform to share the stories of care professionals and showcase the rewarding nature of a career in care.

Why It Matters

  • The UK faces a growing demand for social care services.
  • Care work is skilled, compassionate, and life-changing — yet often undervalued.
  • Good Care Month reminds us that supporting carers means supporting whole communities.

How to Get Involved

  • Say thank you: If a care worker has supported you or a loved one, take a moment to let them know the difference they’ve made.
  • Spread awareness: Share stories or posts on social media to help shine a light on the compassion and skill of carers in our community.
  • Support carers locally: Look out for Good Care Month displays or events in GP practices, pharmacies, or community hubs.
