The badge is a symbol of appreciation for the hundreds and thousands of people working in the care sector nationwide, who continue to support our most vulnerable, during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Their dedication, commitment and loyalty, should never slip under the radar - for this reason, a bright, bold and symbolic badge has been created that will go on sale at the same time as 'clap for our carers'.

The aim of this campaign is to let each and every person working in care homes and the care sector, know just how much they’re appreciated.

Wellburn’s Chairman Rachel Beckett said she wants people working in the care sector to wear this badge with pride, and for those who don’t, to buy the badge as a way of showing their appreciation and support.

“These last few months have been as tough as they get for all of my amazing staff," said Rachel.

"We wanted to do something positive and exciting, for them and for every single person working in the care sector across the country, who’ve been tirelessly and bravely putting themselves in harms way, day in day out, to protect our most vulnerable and needy.

"We wanted something simple, bold and colourful, that encouraged as many people to get involved as possible.

Packs of badges are also being supplied to other care home providers across the country, for their employees, at cost price.

The We Care badge campaign is also taking to social media, encouraging people to share their We Care badge pics across social media, using the hashtag #supportourcarers.

Children are also invited to take part, by colouring and creating their own version of the badge, by using adownloadable pdf, and asking their parents or guardians to post their efforts using the same hashtag.
