Why we all need to stand together for Care - 0 to 100

Care 0 to 100 is set up as a new community and campaigning group in the UK because (to put it one way...) to NOT set it up became impossible! The need for care-mindful policies has never been greater. We hope to challenge people in decision-making positions to properly support ‘care-giving’ time. Our hope is that we can raise the bar, have conversations about CARE in the UK/worldwide - and secure policies that truly makes a difference in people’s day to day lives. It’s about Health, Education, Social Care and Community - and a lot more. It’s about everyone’s life at one time or another - giving and receiving care is part of what it means to live in a civilised society.

It’s also about changing the language of CARE so that it’s respected and celebrated as EQUAL life-enhancing activity in all ways.

This group intends to be an inter-generational group, bringing together the care of children (unpaid/under-supported), older people and indeed anyone we care about, whether at home or in our communities, 0 to 100. It also reaches out to people whose paid work is in the care/early years & childcare/social care or elder care sector. In this way it differs from other groups, because it recognises that ALL care is important regardless of age. It’s a campaign with a ‘lifelong’ perspective, recognising that people care in different ways across their lifetimes.

Not only is the importance of CARE not reflected in policies but also it’s conspicuous by its absence in media coverage. Often caregivers find themselves without a voice and (largely due to the nature of what’s involved) it can also be difficult to find supportive community.
