The Care Workers Charity scoops prestigious award

The Care Workers Charity has topped a momentous year by scooping the prize for Change Project of the Year at the 2018 Charity Times Awards.

The recognition came on top of the charity being a finalist in the category for the Charity of the Year for an income of up to £1m at the event at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in London.

Alex Ramamurthy, CEO of The Care Workers Charity, said: “What a great way for the team to be recognised for their hard work. We’re hungrier than ever to reach our mission, and I have no doubt CWC will win further awards next year following another incredible year.”
