Melanie Weatherley, Chair of Lincolnshire Care Association, said: “This year’s awards were bigger and better after a huge increase in nominations.

“It’s great the awards recognise the fantastic care workers that go above and beyond every day to give the best care to the people they look after.

“The amazing work carers do isn’t celebrated enough so it’s always an honour to host this event and recognise the great contribution of those from the care sector in Lincolnshire.”
