Melanie Weatherley, chairman of LinCa, said: “The amazing work carers do isn’t celebrated enough so it’s an honour to host this event and recognise the great contribution of those from the care sector in Lincolnshire.

“I meet brilliant care workers, nurses and leaders every day and they deserve their work and achievements to be celebrated in such a way.

“The work they do in the county is so important and they are valued hugely by the people they care for, their colleagues and all of us who benefit from high quality care.”

The Lincolnshire Care Awards, compered by Melvyn Prior of BBC Radio Lincolnshire, will take place at The County Assembly Rooms, in Lincoln, on Thursday, February 22.
