Celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Care and Support West Care Awards.

Nominations for this year are now closed.

Our 2023 awards have even more opportunities to celebrate people, organisations and leadership with worthy nominations. For the third year running now, we will be accepting nominations for The Rainbow Heart Award for excellence in care. Get the latest tips and advice on writing a winning nomination by watching our latest video from our judging panel.

The Annual Care and Support West Care Awards celebrate the hard work and dedication of Care Professionals in the South West. We represent care across Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset; with some 500 Care Providers existing in these regions. With around 19,000 people working within these organisations, it is important we take time each year to acknowledge the positive impact our local sector has on the lives of the most vulnerable in society.

THE RAINBOW HEART

The Rainbow Heart was first introduced in 2020 and was designed to shine a light on the heartfelt and challenging work undertaken during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is an extraordinary time for social care which we feel must be observed, making sure the hard work, sacrifice, and commitment from our region is properly acknowledged.

This year the Award will be given to the person(s) or team(s) showing most Resilience & Creativity in the ongoing “new world” of care. A Rainbow Heart nomination can be made against any of our categories aside from those under the organisation section. Whether it’s an inspirational experience or a story of complete dedication against the odds, we’d love to hear from families, fellow care workers, and leadership.

Please contact us with any questions.
