CELEBRATING UNSUNG HEROS

We are thrilled to present the South West Care Awards, an event dedicated to celebrating excellence in the care home sector.

Set against the backdrop of elegance and recognition, this gala evening promises to shine a spotlight on the unsung heroes, innovators, and remarkable contributors who shape the landscape of caregiving.

After a three-year hiatus necessitated by the challenges of the pandemic, we are reuniting to celebrate excellence, dedication, and the spirit of caregiving.

Formerly known as the Outstanding Care Awards, the South West Care Awards is a heartfelt tribute to the care workers and care suppliers who have dedicated their lives to making a difference. This event is not just an awards ceremony; it's a testament to their relentless commitment, compassion, and unwavering service.

We invite you to join us in celebrating the exceptional individuals and organisations that make the care industry shine. Let us stand together to honor the tireless caregivers, the compassionate support teams, and the innovative suppliers who keep the care sector thriving.
