‘Who Cares?’ – Song released to raise awareness of social care

‘Who Cares?’, a song recorded to raise awareness of social care, has been released by the Independent Care Group. 

Sponsored by Hempsons and with all proceeds from the song going to The Care Workers Charity, the video features people working in social care, people who draw on care and support and their families. The lyrics are focused around different, sometimes emotive, aspects of care and support. 

The song is performed by Ivor-Novello award-nominated singer-songwriter Boo Hewerdine, with harmonies from the Sing Out! South Craven Community Choir.
