SCIE launch Social Care Impact Awards

The Social Care Institute for Excellence (SCIE) has launched their Social Care Impact Awards. 

The awards have been created to identify, recognise and reward small organisations doing exceptional work in social care.  

SCIE say: 

“Are you a small user-led organisation, or a small voluntary or community organisation that works in social care? Do you need support with quality, efficiency or improvement or perhaps with your safeguarding processes, but haven’t got the budget for this? Why not submit an entry to our free to enter Social Care Impact Awards and be in for a chance to win one of our 39 prizes?” 

Find out more and enter here: https://www.scie.org.uk/social-care-impact-awards/. The deadline for entries is 9am on Wednesday 28 May 2025.
