We are delighted to announce the shortlisted nominees for this year’s Greensleeves Care Awards. 

The annual accolades celebrate the exceptional people across the charity who go above and beyond to provide outstanding care and support to our residents and teams. They highlight the dedication, skill and compassion demonstrated by colleagues and volunteers. 

The finalists this year span 17 categories including Care Professional of the Year, Manager of the Year, Living our Values Award, Unsung Hero, and Volunteer of the Year. This year, the organisation received around 300 nominations from colleagues across its 28 care homes and head office.  

Chris Doherty, Interim CEO of Greensleeves Care, remarked on this year’s nominees: 

“Once again, the Greensleeves Care Awards shine a spotlight on the immense talent, dedication, and compassion of our colleagues and volunteers. Each nominee has made a significant impact on the lives of those we care for, demonstrating the very best of what Greensleeves Care stands for. My heartfelt thanks goes to everyone on this impressive shortlist and the many more who inspired a nomination.” 

Among the awe-inspiring nominations this year, there are remarkable individuals and teams recognised for their contributions to care, community engagement, sustainability and innovation.
