Abbots Care Awards 2025
This year, we returned to Tewinbury Farm for the 6th annual Abbots Care Worker Awards ceremony!
Our Care Workers’ dedication to their roles makes such an important difference out in the community, and we are so proud to host this event each year to celebrate their amazing work.
The arrival of this year’s Care Worker awards also coincided with our 30th Birthday, and the results of our recent CQC inspection, which saw our Hertfordshire branch receive an ‘outstanding rating’ for the third consecutive time. So this year’s events were set to be extra special.
The evening began with welcome drinks and entry music from a live band before taking seats for an ice-breaker game and a speech from our CEO, Camille Leavold. The three-course meal was broken up by each of set of awards, and a roaming camera team and photographer were there to capture the night’s highlights. The night finished with dancing and another amazing performance from the band.
We are so proud of all our amazing finalists and winners, and we can’t wait to bring the Care Worker awards back for 2026!
