Celebrating 24 finalists at the GB Care Awards

This week marks the beginning of celebrations for the Great British Care Awards, and Community Integrated Care is proud to have been shortlisted for 24 Awards at the regional finals.

With finalists across five different regional events, our people, teams, partnerships and projects have received recognition for their hard work and dedication to the sector.

The Great British Care Awards are a series of regional awards that celebrate excellence in the social care sector. Originally due to take place in late 2020, the awards were rescheduled to July 2021 as the ceremony looks to celebrate the best of the social care sector. The winners of the regional accolades then progress onto the hotly contested, Great British Care Awards National Finals.

Community Integrated Care has also received recognition as an organisation for its commitment to providing world-class care and delivering excellent support, making the shortlist for the prestigious ‘Care Employer’ award across all five regions.

Marks Adams, Chief Executive Officer at Community Integrated Care said, “It is a terrific achievement to be nominated for 24 accolades at the Great British Care Awards, and fantastic to see the hard work of our exceptional colleagues and teams recognised as amongst the very best in the social care sector.”

He continued, “I’m proud of all our finalists and would like to wish them the best of luck in the ceremonies over the next couple of weeks. They have all displayed phenomenal amounts of passion and bravery throughout an extremely challenging time. It is their continuous commitment and hard work that ensures that the people we support can live the best lives possible.”
