Charlotte Supports Council Home Care workers
18 May 2007
Charlotte has lent her support to the Council Home Care workers in their bid to keep Bristol Home Care council-run.
Charlotte Leslie has lent her support to the Council Home Care workers in their bid to prevent further privatisation of Home Care Services. Charlotte was one of the 9,000 Bristol residents to sign their petition, and was honoured to address the Home Care workers' celebration of Care at Bristol Cathedral on 11th May.
Charlotte said "As someone with personal experience of caring for an elderly and disabled friend, I know how important it is for the elderly and infirm to have a familiar face to come in and look after them. Carers work so hard, and often their work is invisible to everyone except those they care for. I was honoured to be able to pay tribute to their work at Bristol Cathedral."
