Recognition is also about visibility.

About making sure the women contributing to health and social care are not only doing the work, but are seen, celebrated and remembered for it.

The BWIC Care Legacy Awards create space for those stories to be recognised.

So as you think about the women whose work has made a difference, ask yourself:
Whose story deserves to be part of this year's celebration?

She showed up. She helped people. She shared what she knew. She made time for others, even when she had very little of it herself.

And over time, something happened.

People became more confident because she had believed in them.

People became better at what they did because she had taught them.

People found their voice because she had made room for theirs.

Long after a conversation ended, or a shift was over, or she had moved on to something else, the impact remained.

That is legacy.

It isn't always something you can point to on a CV.

Sometimes, you see it in the people someone has helped, the standards they have raised and the lives they have changed along the way.

That is what the Care Legacy Awards celebrate.

The impact that stays with people.

If someone has left that kind of mark, give their contribution the recognition it deserves.

CARE HAS MANY FACES.
So does the work behind it.

A carer.
A nurse.
A manager.
A support worker.
A community advocate.
A mentor.
A volunteer.

There are many ways to contribute to health and social care, and many ways to leave a lasting impact.

The BWIC Care Legacy Awards celebrate the women doing that work across different roles, settings and communities.

Who in your world belongs in this year's story?

Sometimes, being nominated is already a reminder that your work matters.

BWIC Awards 2025 Social Worker of the Year Award Winner Clair Graham shares why she encourages you to nominate others, even if they don’t know what the outcome will be.

Because winning isn’t the only thing that matters.

Knowing that someone took the time to put your name forward can be a powerful reminder that your work is seen, valued and appreciated.

So think about that woman in your workplace, your team or your wider community who deserves that reminder.

Nominations for the BWIC Care Legacy Awards 2026 close on 16 September.

You could be the reason someone knows that their work matters. ✨

Not every leader is the loudest person in the room.

Some people lead by listening.
Some lead by supporting others.
Some lead by consistently doing the right thing, even when nobody is watching.

Leadership doesn't always look the way we expect it to.

The BWIC Care Legacy Awards is about recognising the people making a difference in their own way.

Who is that person for you?

What makes someone worthy of recognition?

Is it their job title?

The number of years they've worked in care?

How senior they are?

Or is it the difference they've made along the way?

The people they've supported.
The teams they've strengthened.
The lives they've touched.

Look around you. Who has made that kind of difference?

A year later, and this is exactly why recognition matters. 💙

Last year, we had the privilege of recognising Kathryn Marsden OBE at the Black Women in Care Awards.

BWIC was created to celebrate and amplify Black women across social care, but we also believe in recognising those who stand alongside, advocate for and make a meaningful difference within our sector.

Thank you, Kathryn, for reflecting on what that moment meant to you and for continuing to champion the incredible people working across social care.
