ABOUT US

Filipinos in Care is a UK-registered charity powered by pride, purpose, and people. We are a growing community of healthcare and social care professionals — led by those with lived experience — working to uplift, empower, and represent Filipino and ethnically diverse workers across the care sector.

​

Founded by frontline professionals, we exist to create the kind of support we wished we had. We champion equity in care leadership, invest in future managers, and ensure that those who give so much to others are never left behind.

​

What We’ve Done (So Far)

In the past year, Filipinos in Care has grown from a grassroots network into a recognised voice in the sector. Highlights include:

​

• Launched Project CHARM – a pioneering leadership development programme designed to prepare ethnically diverse staff to step into Registered Manager roles. Delivered in person and online, this initiative has already supported multiple cohorts, with employer backing and national interest.

• Pastoral and peer support – from visa-related stress to workplace issues, we’ve offered tailored support and a trusted space for care workers to talk and be heard.

• Hosted sector-wide events – including workshops, policy roundtables, and awareness campaigns that celebrate identity, challenge discrimination, and raise the profile of Filipino contributions to UK care.

• Mentorship and training – we are proud to be a CPD provider and we deliver workshops to personal development sessions, we’ve helped care professionals build confidence, skills, and a sense of belonging.

• Policy influence – by listening to the community and feeding issues back to decision-makers, we’ve brought the voices of Filipino and global majority workers into national conversations.

 

Our Partners

We believe in collaboration, not competition. We are proud to work with:

• The Embassy of the Philippines in London – strengthening ties and co-hosting events that celebrate culture, professionalism, and advocacy.

• Local and national care providers – supporting career development pathways and inclusive leadership in the workplace.

• Professional bodies, Filipino nursing diasporas, and charitable organisations – working together to promote visibility, training, and wellbeing for ethnically diverse staff.

​

Together, we’re not just improving careers — we’re changing systems.

​

Looking Ahead

This is just the beginning. As we move forward, our focus remains on scaling Project CHARM, building stronger support systems, and securing funding to offer career development opportunities and pastoral support. 

​

We are proudly rooted in care. And we believe that when we lift each other up, we all rise.
