The 2027 Markel 3rd Sector Care Awards Categories
Who should enter?
‘Third sector’ and ‘care’ are broad terms, so you might not be certain whether you should be entering these awards.
To make it simple, nominations are eligible if:
- You/the nominee are making a positive difference to people’s lives, whether they’re at the very beginning or very end of their lives – or anywhere in between.
AND
- You are working for/nominating an organisation, team or group that is not making a profit, or that is reinvesting its profits into the support it offers.
Employees working at all levels are welcome to enter, from large organisations and those with just one or two members of staff. You might be part of a community group or be helping people to get out of their homes. Maybe you are supporting people who have experienced domestic abuse, or you might be running a memory café for people with dementia. We want to hear from you, whatever way you’re helping people.
Our past entries have included services that help homeless people to reach their goals; organisations that offer safe homes for children who would otherwise go into short-term foster care; hospices supporting people with cancer; care home accountants who have gone the extra mile to support residents; and chief executives who are leading their staff towards more fulfilling lives – for themselves and the people they support.
Still not sure?
