As our current workforce at Harrogate Neighbours is made up of 79% women, we felt it was important to celebrate International Women's Day.

It is a known fact that the care sector is a high percentage of women and at Harrogate Neighbours, we are fortunate enough to have five sets of Mother and Daughters working alongside each other. 

Lynsey Robinson (Registered Care Manager) and daughter Paige both work at Harrogate Neighbours. She commented:

“I never thought Page would follow in my footsteps, but when she began working in the kitchen, I was amazed at how good she was with the residents – she showed empathy and really enjoyed spending time with them. When she turned 17, Page decided to give caring a go and I couldn’t be more proud of her flying the flag right next to me at Harrogate Neighbours.”


We feel proud to be inspiring individual's across generations to join the care sector. Sue Cawthray (CEO Harrogate Neighbours) discussed further how bringing generations together can be beneficial: 

“As an organisation, we are keen to support younger staff joining the care sector, but also to help more mature staff members to develop their skills and gain wider qualifications.

“With an ageing population, it’s important to nurture talent to ensure we can continue to support the most vulnerable people.”

Happy International Women's Day to all the incredible women out there!
