Welcome to The Caring UK Awards 2026 – the date is set, the venue booked and the glittering Caring UK Awards’ evening will be back at the fabulous Athena in Leicester on Thursday December 3 2026.

The Caring UK Awards celebrates and recognises achievements in the UK elderly care and domicillary sector. Now in its 9th year, the awards have rapidly developed a reputation as not only being a highlight of the care industry year, but as an important and recognised accolade for those who stand above the rest to be shortlisted and to win.

If you’re interested in entering, please note that each entrant may only apply for up to two categories. This ensures that the judges can focus on the highest-quality entries, and that all entrants have a fair chance of winning.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you and showcase the wonderful achievements of our amazing sector!

NOMINATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED.

We will be announcing our shortlist in the coming weeks. Thank you to everyone who has entered.
