Welcome to the Markel 3rd Sector Care Awards.
Uncovering excellence, innovation and creativity in the voluntary care and support sector.
These Awards are designed to reward the hard work, dedication, innovation and excellence of everyone working in the not-for-profit sector who is making a positive difference to people’s lives, whether they are supporting children or adults.
Organised by CMM, and developed in conjunction with the National Care Forum, the Markel 3rd Sector Care Awards are the perfect way to share the work you’ve been doing to support those who need it most.
Anyone can enter themselves or nominate someone else in one of our categories – no matter what their position in an organisation. And because we know budgets can be tight, we don’t charge for entries. You can find out more about why you should enter and the benefits of winning on our Why Enter? page.
This year's Award Ceremony took place on Friday 17th April 2026 at the B:Music Town hall, Birmingham. Meet our 2026 winners and finalists here.
The Awards will return for 2027, so make sure you stay up to date and follow us on social media. Join the conversation: @3rdSectorCare and #3rdSectorCareAwards
