CareTech's annual Arts, Crafts and Performance Awards returned this year with a vibrant sports-themed celebration, bringing together service users, colleagues and supporters from across the organisation to recognise outstanding creativity and achievement.
A highlight of the CareTech calendar, the awards showcase the remarkable artistic talents of the people we are privileged to support. The event provides an opportunity to celebrate individuality, self-expression and accomplishment while recognising the hard work and dedication behind every entry.
Service users attended the awards alongside members of teams from across the business, creating a memorable occasion filled with pride, encouragement and celebration.
This year's competition featured a wide range of imaginative and inspiring artwork, from football-inspired creations to colourful seaside scenes and scrapbooks capturing personal journeys. The event also marked an exciting milestone with the introduction of CareTech's first ever International Award, presented to the children of Josour School in Saudi Arabia for their entry, FIFA World Cup 2026.
The awards reflect CareTech's commitment to creating opportunities that enrich lives and empower people to achieve their potential.
