Surrey Care Awards 2026

A Night to Remember

On Friday 6th November 2026, Surrey Care Association proudly welcomed care professionals, providers, partners and supporters from across Surrey for another inspiring Surrey Care Awards celebration.

The Surrey Care Awards recognise the dedication, passion and innovation that exist throughout the adult social care sector. The evening provided an opportunity to celebrate individuals and teams who go above and beyond every day to support people across our communities.

We were delighted to be joined by our fabulous host, La Voix, whose wit, warmth and unforgettable stage presence helped make the evening truly special.

 

Congratulations to all of our finalists and winners. Being nominated is a significant achievement, reflecting the exceptional commitment, compassion and professionalism demonstrated throughout the year. Your dedication continues to make a positive difference to the lives of those you support and the wider social care community.

A huge thank you also goes to our sponsors, judges, guests and everyone involved in making the Surrey Care Awards 2026 such a success. The evening was a wonderful opportunity to recognise excellence, celebrate achievement and acknowledge the remarkable people who are at the heart of social care.
