Nominations now open for the WeCare Wales Award at the 2025 Accolades

The Accolades logo

Entries and nominations are now open for the 2025 Accolades. This year is the 20th anniversary of the annual awards organised by Social Care Wales that recognise, celebrate and share excellent social care, social work, childcare, play and early years in Wales.

The WeCare Wales award is back again for 2025 and recognises and celebrates individual care workers and volunteers.

The award is aimed at paid care workers or volunteers who work in social care or early years in Wales, who make a positive difference to people’s lives and help them achieve what matters to them.

Have you done something unique or innovative that’s made a real difference to the lives of the people you support or your workforce?

Or do you know someone who works or volunteers in the sectors who deserves to be recognised for the fantastic work they do? If so, Social Care Wales want to hear from you!

There are six categories this year – four for teams, projects and organisations, and two for workers and volunteers.

The categories for groups, projects and organisations are:

  • Building bright futures for children and families
  • Developing and inspiring the workforce
  • Working in partnership
  • Working to the principles of strengths-based practice.

The categories for workers and volunteers are:

  • Effective leadership award
  • WeCare Wales award.

The closing date for entries and nominations is 5pm on 1 November 2024.

Go to Social Care Wales’ website to find out more about the 2025 Accolades and to submit an entry or nomination form.
