TV STAR ALERT! ⭐
Did you spot our very own Angel Amanda on BBC Look North last evening?
Amanda joined CEO Dan Archer to shed light on the impact rising fuel prices are having on caregivers and why supporting the people who provide care has never been more important.
The feature gave us a chance to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing social care. Caregivers spend a significant part of their day travelling between clients' homes, yet many care providers do not pay for this travel time. When unpaid travel is factored in, it can significantly reduce a caregiver's effective hourly earnings.
At Visiting Angels, we do things differently. We pay caregivers for the time they spend travelling between clients, as well as providing mileage reimbursement. We believe caregivers shouldn't be out of pocket for delivering essential care, nor should they be forced to choose between providing great care and making ends meet.
We're incredibly proud of Amanda for representing caregivers so brilliantly and helping bring this important conversation into the spotlight.
