“Absolutely incredible get this in your diary for next year! The energy in the room was amazing, and the nurses from Filipinos in Care brought such passion and a real can-do attitude it really stood out. A truly inspiring community driving change.” Louise Keane SCNAC

The second anniversary celebrations of Filipinos in Care was far more than I had ever imagined. Please don’t hesitate if you have an opportunity to attend. Sad I can’t attend this years gala on the 5th December. Next year.

Its was excellent to hear the experiences of every speaker that inspires me to reach my objectives in life . Thank you for the opportunity to invite us to attend.

They can be trusted and true community leaders .

Great atmosphere. Very well organised

FIC genuinely supports and offers training opportunities designed to strengthen skills, confidence, and personal development for colleagues working in care. FIC fosters a warm environment and actively collaborates with various organisations, giving pride and recognition to Filipinos.

It was my first FIC event and what an amazing one it was. I thoroughly enjoyed everything. I loved the energy, the food, the performances and the love everyone showed to each other . Congratulations and well done to Kier and team. Massive congratulations to all the awardees as well. I am very proud of you all.

The best experience i ever had

Had a great night!

The Christmas event was very well organised. I enjoyed the performances showcasing our Filipino heritage. It was lovely to see an event to celebrate the individuals who have dedicated their lives to helping others.

The organisation
are very welcoming and professionals. Their charity event was for a good cause with high standards and excellence.

The warm welcoming of the organisers, founders is very well received. They went to an extra mile in personalising the seating plans with touch of home🥰. Amazing ambiance, music was very nice thoroughly enjoyed it! Great job FIC team! Can’t wait to attend your next event🙌 everyone deserves five + stars! 🌟

​I first encountered Filipinos In Care (FIC) in mid-2024 when Kier, one of the founders and chair, personally reached out and asked me to register online. My initial reaction was a bit skeptical—"What is this for? What will I get out of it, I'm busy with my kids?" However, out of respect for him, I put my name down and followed their Facebook page.
​Soon, I started seeing the many events FIC was doing. Their 1st Christmas Gala in 2024 was truly amazing and piqued my curiosity. I brought this interest with me to work. As a former Clinical Trainer, I often interacted with Filipino nurses in care homes, and I made it a point to ask them if they had heard of FIC and encourage them to check out the Facebook page.
​The Anniversary and the Spirit of Bayanihan
​The turning point came in April 2025, when I was invited to attend FIC's 1st Anniversary. Kier asked me to speak—I don't know why, but I accepted and shared my life story. On that day, I was observing and listening intently to the other speakers, and a powerful word got stuck in my head: "BAYANIHAN."
​What unfolded at that event perfectly embodied the meaning of BAYANIHAN. I saw a group of people genuinely willing to help and support others. That day, I FELL IN LOVE WITH FIC. I still get goosebumps thinking about it! I met several amazing, inspirational people who motivated me to do more and be more. “Nabuhay ang pagiging makabayan ko” (My sense of patriotism was reawakened). To top it off, I had the incredible opportunity to shake hands with the Philippine Ambassador.
​The Extraordinary Team Behind FIC
​I have since learned more about the extraordinary individuals leading FIC, and they are truly a team of high-achievers.
• ​Kier: I’ve respected him since his Nurse Practitioner days, and now he is a Managing Director of a care company.
• ​Dr. Jay: A NURSING TIMES AWARDEE and Senior Regional Director.
• ​Ma'am Charito: Everything about her can be summarized in three letters: BEM (British Empire Medal). Enough said!
• ​Ma'am Margee: An amazing leader and achiever. I was blessed to sit down with her at their last event and learned a lot from her.
• ​Ma'am Aileen: Though I haven't spoken to her yet, she always has a genuine, accommodating smile.
• ​Ma'am Jaja: Clearly the beauty queen of the group and an amazing Master of Ceremonies.
• ​Xyza: I love her because we are both Ilocanos, and again she is also a BEM awardee.
​Ang galing galing nilang lahat (They are all truly brilliant).
​I wholeheartedly believe in what they stand for.

Mabuhay kayo FIC!

Let me share with you my incredible experience with a phenomenal Filipino organization that truly embodies the values of heritage, compassion and community respect.n Their mission centers on empowering Filipino’s and ensuring that every ounce of hard work, sacrifice, and daily act of kindness is celebrated and acknowledged. I”m thrilled to be one of this year’s award recipients - I can’t express how grateful I amfor the nomination and the honour of receiving this award. It fills me with pride to represent my Filipino heritage in the UK.
