A Night to Remember at the Lincolnshire Care Awards 2025!

Broadcaster and presenter Melvyn Prior hosted the event on 26th March, which was organised by the Lincolnshire Care Association (LinCA), at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Lincoln.

Winners and highly commended nominees were announced across 13 categories, and there was also a LinCA Chair’s Special Recognition Award.

This year’s award was presented to Barry Earnshaw, the previous Chair of LinCA, and the award will be renamed in his honour from now on.

Nominations for all the other awards were open to care organisations, employers, colleagues, service users and friends and family. They were shortlisted before a judging panel decided the winners and highly commended for each category.

“Thanks to everyone who nominated their Lincolnshire care heroes and to the fantastic behind-the-scenes team who put the event together in such seamless fashion,” said Melanie Weatherley MBE, Chair of the Lincolnshire Care Association.

“Thanks also to our sponsors, presenters and guest judges, without whom we simply wouldn’t be able to deliver such an amazing event. Your dedication, support and commitment make all the difference – so a heartfelt thank you from all of us.

“It was an honour to witness the outstanding work happening across Lincolnshire, much of which often goes unseen. We are truly inspired by the passion and care shown within our social care community!”
