International Women’s Day 2024 – Spotlight

This International Women’s Day, we shine a spotlight on the remarkable achievements of past female winners at the Care Home Awards 2023 and Care at Home Awards 2023, celebrating their invaluable contributions to the social care sector.

With over 80% of the Scottish social service sector workforce being women, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the women tirelessly serving in various roles, enriching lives and fostering compassionate care across Scotland.
