We’re all looking forward to the Lincolnshire Care Awards ceremony on Thursday 26th March, and we’re delighted to announce the names of the finalists!
As usual, the awards will be presented at the DoubleTree by Hilton Lincoln by our compere Melvyn Prior, events host and former BBC Radio Lincolnshire presenter.
Since 2016 the awards have celebrated the best in care in Lincolnshire and put the spotlight on those working on the front line of social care in the county.
They’re intended for frontline workers and managers rather than corporate organisations, and they aim to recognise the skills and dedication of our vital social care workforce.
Our congratulations go to all the shortlisted candidates across 13 categories, and we look forward to seeing them in March!
