Last week, the Saint Cecilia’s Care Awards 2025 brought together colleagues, families, partners, and friends for what became our most memorable celebration yet. Hosted at the magnificent Scarborough Spa, the evening was filled with emotion, applause, pride and - above all - gratitude. It was a night dedicated to recognising the extraordinary dedication of our care staff across Scarborough, Whitby and Pickering, and an opportunity to shine a spotlight on the compassion and commitment that define Saint Cecilia’s Care Group.

This year, we proudly honoured 17 outstanding members of our team, each nominated for the exceptional contribution they made over the past year. From nurses and carers to support staff and managers, these individuals exemplify the highest standards of care - approaching every day with professionalism, warmth, and an unwavering commitment to the people we support.

But the success of this year’s awards didn’t happen by chance. It was made possible thanks to the incredible generosity and support of our sponsors - local and regional businesses who continue to champion the care sector and recognise the importance of celebrating its people.

Today, we want to extend our deepest thanks to each of them.

Each of these organisations played a vital role in bringing our event to life. From helping us create an awards stage worthy of our incredible staff, to contributing prizes, décor, refreshments, and more - their involvement elevated the evening and ensured every nominee felt valued and celebrated.

The Saint Cecilia’s Care Awards have always been about recognising the people who make a difference every day. Our teams often work quietly and humbly behind the scenes - supporting individuals and families through some of life’s most challenging moments. Events like this give us the opportunity to pause, reflect, and publicly honour the impact they make.

Thanks to our sponsors, this year’s ceremony did exactly that - beautifully, joyfully, and with a sense of pride shared by everyone in the room.

We are fortunate to be supported by a business community that understands and champions the importance of care. Their partnership does more than help fund an event - it helps uplift morale, strengthen relationships across the sector, and remind our teams that their efforts are seen, valued, and deeply appreciated.

To all of our sponsors: thank you. Your generosity helped us deliver our best awards night yet, and your continued belief in the work we do means the world to our teams and to the people we care for.

To our staff: congratulations once again to all 17 award winners and every nominee. You are the heart of Saint Cecilia’s Care Group, and we couldn’t be prouder of everything you do.

Here’s to another year of exceptional care - and to celebrating the incredible people who make it possible.
