Hide AdOrganised by Care Management Matters (CMM), and developed in conjunction with the National Care Forum, a not-for-profit organisation offering expert advice in the care sector, the Markel 3rd Sector Care Awards are keen to receive your entries. The awards recognise individuals and organisations that bring about significant impact in their communities within the not-for-profit sector – celebrating hard work, dedication, innovation and excellence.
Anyone can enter themselves or nominate someone else in one of the categories – no matter what their position in an organisation is or what support they provide within the not-for-profit sector, there is a category for everyone. There is no charge for entries – but you’ll have to be quick as the closing date for nominations is Friday 23rd October.
Those successfully shortlisted will be gifted tickets to the awards ceremony to be held at The Grand Hotel in Birmingham on Friday 14th March 2025. The event will bring together esteemed leaders in health and social care from across the UK to applaud and learn about the diverse work of the winners and finalists.
