We're back for another celebration of the amazing adult social care sector in Leicester and Leicestershire!

Join us for an evening of celebration, recognition, and inspiration at the Care Professional of the Year Awards 2026, where we honour the incredible individuals making a lasting difference in adult social care across Leicester and Leicestershire.

This prestigious event will take place on at the beautiful Winstanley House, with arrival from 17:15 for a 18:30 start.

Over the course of the evening, we will present 16 awards recognising the dedication, compassion, and professionalism of those working in social care. From new starters and unsung heroes to innovative leaders and long-standing contributors, each award highlights the extraordinary impact care professionals have on the lives of others.

The ceremony will include short speeches, moments of reflection, and breaks for networking, creating a warm and uplifting atmosphere to celebrate achievements together. The final award of the day will be the coveted Care Professional of the Year Award, honouring an individual who has gone above and beyond in their role.

Whether you are attending as a nominee, a supporter, a colleague, or a champion of adult social care, this event is your chance to be part of a community that values and applauds the heart of the care sector.
