Join us for the third annual WAGS Awards, celebrating the outstanding achievements of women leaders across the social care sector. We’re proud to sponsor the Home Business Women of the Year Award.

About the WAGS Awards

The Women Achieving Greatness in Social Care Awards (WAGS) will take place on 2nd December 2025 at the Hilton London Bankside.

Now in its third year, WAGS shines a spotlight on the remarkable achievements of women leaders across the social care sector.

Why WAGS Matters

• Over 85% of the social care workforce is female, many balancing the demands of family life with their careers.
• WAGS exists to promote gender equity and celebrate the dedication, innovation, and leadership of women who make a profound difference in social care.

Recognising Excellence

The awards honour accomplishments at all levels of leadership, spanning:

• Services for older people
• Support for people with learning disabilities and/or autism
• Care for children, young people, and families

With a wide range of categories, WAGS highlights the diverse contributions of women across the workforce, united by a common thread: leadership, innovation, and responsibility.
