Parky aids dignity bid

Wednesday, July 01, 2009, 23:00

TELEVISION presenter Sir Michael Parkinson launched the Dignity in Care Campaign today to promote better standards for carers and the cared-for.

The former chat show host and National Dignity Ambassador was joined by Care Services Minister Phil Hope for the event in Leeds.

The campaign aims to ensure all people using care and health services are treated with respect.

They will also encourage people to sign up as Dignity Champions, to help inspire and equip people to drive up care standards across the country.

Sir Michael was named as the Government's new "dignity ambassador" last year, with a mission to raise awareness of the importance of compassion in care services.




These are the people who have so far pledged their support for the We Care campaign.

These people have either offered money or treats such as restaurant meals, massages, hair cuts and event tickets to the We Care campaign that we can hand out to deserving carers.

To sign up and offer a treat to carers or money to fund respite contact selliott@expressandecho.co.uk or telephone 01392 442282
