October 17, 2024 Leave a Comment

Last chance to enter prestigious awards celebrating third sector workers.

Third sector workers in Grantham and beyond are being urged to act fast as nominations for prestigious awards ceremony celebrating those in the not-for-profit health and care sector come to a close.

Whether you work for a small community group which supports the elderly or homeless, or you’re part of a large organisation, such as a hospice or care home provider, the Markel 3rd Sector Care Awards want to hear from you.

Organised by Care Management Matters (CMM), and developed in conjunction with the National Care Forum, a not-for-profit organisation offering expert advice in the care sector, the Markel 3rd Sector Care Awards are keen to receive your entries. The awards recognise individuals and organisations that bring about significant impact in their communities within the not-for-profit sector – celebrating hard work, dedication, innovation and excellence.

Anyone can enter themselves or nominate someone else in one of the categories – no matter what their position in an organisation is or what support they provide within the not-for-profit sector, there is a category for everyone. There is no charge for entries – but you’ll have to be quick as the closing date for nominations is Friday 23rd October.


Those successfully shortlisted will be gifted tickets to the awards ceremony to be held at The Grand Hotel in Birmingham on Friday 14th March 2025. The event will bring together esteemed leaders in health and social care from across the UK to applaud and learn about the diverse work of the winners and finalists.

Neil Galjaard, Divisional Managing Director at Markel, said: “Every year, we are inspired by the incredible stories of how people and organisations across the UK make a real difference in people’s lives – so we want to hear from those working in the not-for-profit sector to celebrate their work and provide them with the recognition they deserve.

“As we prepare for our 11th award ceremony next year, we are honoured to be associated with CMM and the awards. Proud to be different, the Markel 3rd Sector Care Awards are free to enter, tickets to the ceremony are gifted and judges on the panel have lived experience – by removing barriers to enter, we ensure we really are celebrating the very best of those in the third sector.”

Commenting on the nominations opening, Lisa Werthmann, Director at CMM, added: “It is a real privilege to have founded and organise the Markel 3rd Sector Care Awards – which is such a significant and uplifting event.

“I urge everyone working in this sector to nominate your colleagues and also recognise your own hard work so that we continue to recognise excellence through what promises to be a truly inspiring celebration.”
