In one of our most passionate and thought-provoking episodes yet, Barry Price speaks to Katrina Hall, founder of Bay Care Group and a leading voice in the Providers Unite movement.
Katrina shares her journey into care, starting at just 14 years old, and how her lived experience has shaped a business that now delivers over 9,000 hours of care a week. From frontline worker to movement leader, she discusses the reality of today’s care challenges — including funding cuts, workforce pressures, and the risk of losing small providers.
This episode explores:
- Katrina’s rise through the ranks of social care
- Her motivation behind starting Bay Care
- The origins and impact of Providers Unite
- The urgent message to Government: value social care
- Advice for other care leaders and why peer-to-peer support matters
- If you care about the future of the sector, this is one not to miss.
