Penrose Care has teamed up with St John’s Hospice in St John’s Wood NW8 and Mestizo Mexican Restaurant in Camden / Euston to help expand Penrose Care’s social impact capabilities on social media.
As the first part of our campaign, we’ll be focusing on attracting new Twitter followers. When our Twitter account www.twitter.com/PenroseCare (or @PenroseCare) achieves certain follower levels, we’ll do something special:
• 500 Twitter followers: For our first 500 Twitter followers who also retweet our Tweet or Tweets promoting this campaign, we’ll enter them into our Dinner-for-Two Raffle for a meal at Mestizo Mexican Restaurant. See Terms & Conditions below for more details.
• 1,000 Twitter followers: Once we achieve 1,000 followers, Penrose Care will donate £100 to St John’s Hospice, a fellow champion of dignity in care.
Penrose Care, London’s ethical home care provider based in Hampstead, north west London, is committed to providing excellent homecare with compassion underpinned by a variety of ethical practices such as paying our support workers the London Living Wage including for travel time spent between client homes, providing top-of-the-range training, and maintaining a generous occupational sickpay scheme. Penrose Care strongly believes that upholding these ethical practices is fundamental to being able to consistently provide high quality care at home to the elderly and non-elderly adults with disabilities we serve.
As a demonstration of its committment to ethics, Penrose Care was one of the first four home care providers in England in 2012 to become an Accredited Living Wage Employer out of nearly 7,000 agencies. Today, Penrose Care is one of four Accredited Living Wage Employers in London’s home care sector out of over 1,000 providers. Further, Penrose Care is proud to be the first independent sector home care provider in England to be compliant with Citizens UK’s landmark Social Care Charter, an ethical pathway for social care providers, including care homes and nursing homes, as well as home care providers.
While we are committed to achieving these aims within our own remit, we believe it is our duty to promote ethical practices in social care to the public and those providers who operate outside of our immediate remit. Hence our commitment to social change through such channels as social media.
Thank you for your support!

About Mestizo Mexican Restaurant
MESTIZO is the concept of a group of Mexicans to bring to London a restaurant-bar offering a fine and authentic Mexican cuisine. The name MESTIZO suggests “mezcla” or “fusion”, a term that was utilised principally to designate the descendents of indigenous Mexicans with Spaniards. Our mission at MESTIZO is to bring to London the best that Mexican food has to offer.
