We’re shortlisted for 21 Great British Care Awards!

This week marks the start of the  Great British Care Awards Regional Finals and Community Integrated Care is proud to have been shortlisted for an incredible 21 accolades at this year’s ceremonies.

Hosted by Care Talk Magazine, the regional awards celebrate outstanding people and initiatives throughout the social care sector. Winners of the regional accolades progress to the Great British Care Awards National Finals, which will take place early next year.

We’re proud to see colleagues, teams and projects from across our charity recognised amongst the finalists across four different regional events.

Our charity also made the shortlist for the prestigious ‘Care Employer’ award in the North West and East Midlands. The honour recognises our organisation’s commitment to quality and innovation across our services and ensuring incredible opportunities for our colleagues and the people we support.

Jim Kane, Chief Executive Officer at Community Integrated Care, said, “It’s fantastic to see colleagues from every region across our charity – from Invergordon to Portsmouth – achieve recognition at the Great British Care Awards regional events, and to be celebrated as amongst the very best in the social care sector. I’d like to wish each and every colleague and team shortlisted the very best of luck.”

“We’re also really proud to see our organisation shortlisted for the Care Employer Award. To be amongst the finalists for this accolade in not one but two regional events is truly a testament to our incredible teams. Despite facing another challenging year, we have continued to innovate and develop our services, invest in our colleagues to support their wellbeing and professional development, and strengthen our valuable community partnerships to secure wonderful opportunities for the people we support, so that they can live the best lives possible.”
