*Story updated July 2024 to reflect winners of each category (in bold).
We are thrilled to share the inspiring nominees for our Greensleeves Care Awards 2024!
This year, we received an incredible 395 nominations that speak to our colleagues’ dedication and passion for their roles. These nominations describe our colleagues not only doing great work in their day-to-day jobs, but going above and beyond for our residents, with the mindset that nothing is too much trouble when it comes to ensuring our residents are safe and happy.
From acquiring a pet budgie for a resident, to pioneering a wellbeing hub, to accompanying residents to important life events, this year’s nominations are jam-packed with stories of colleagues doing inspirational things above and beyond the call of duty.
We can’t wait to further celebrate the nominees, as well as announce our winners, at the event on 24 April. We will be sharing the results on our social channels, so keep an eye out. Congratulations to all nominees, you should be incredibly proud of yourselves!
