Today we celebrate International Women’s Day and recognise the incredible contributions women make across the social sector every single day. Around 79% of the adult social care workforce in England is female.

Across charities, community groups and social organisations, women are making a difference in countless ways — supporting people through difficult moments, leading important work, advocating for change and helping communities grow stronger.

So much of the care, commitment and progress in our sector is driven by women who show up every day to support others, challenge barriers and create opportunities for people to thrive.

Today is a great opportunity to pause and recognise the women who have made a difference in our work and in our lives.

✨ Who is a woman in the social sector who has inspired or supported you?
✨ Someone whose work deserves a shout-out today?

Tag them in the comments and let’s celebrate the women who make the social sector stronger.
