NACC Celebrate 2025 Award Winners

The National Association of Care Catering (NACC) gathered in Nottingham (1st – 2nd  October 2025) to celebrate the great and the good of care catering at the NACC National Awards 2025.

Delegates gathered at the NACC National Awards 2025 for their annual gala dinner at the East Midlands Conference Centre to celebrate this year’s winners.

These prestigious awards highlight many of the outstanding contributions to improving care catering over the previous 12 months. The awards seek to spotlight innovation, excellence and dedication. All these talents were demonstrated by the winning teams and individuals, together with resilience, agility and care, in what continues to be a challenging period for the care catering sector.

Neel Radia, National Chair of the NACC, said: “To be shortlisted for these awards is an honour in itself and knowing that you are standing on the shoulders of giants is a truly special feeling. A huge congratulations to everyone who received an award this evening.

I am constantly amazed by the stories I hear from those working within the care catering sector. These stories remind me time and time again that we are not just providing food – we are delivering care, compassion and dignity to those who need it most.”
