The countdown to the Wales Care Awards has begun… it’s exactly two weeks until we discover who’ll be honoured as this year’s social care heroes.

The awards – now in their 10th year – will take place during the evening of October 26 at Cardiff’s City Hall.

Winners will be presented with their awards by the Deputy Minister for Health and Social Services, Gwenda Thomas.

BBC newsreader Lucy Owen will again compere, with entertainment this year from mezzo-soprano Sioned Terry.

There are 21 categories of awards including the Care Practitioner of the Year, Registered Manager of the Year, Commitment to Training Award and the Craig Thomas Lifetime Achievement Award.

Find out more about the awards.

We look forward to seeing you there!
