People in Stone are being encouraged to nominate outstanding carers for this year’s Dignity in Care Awards before the deadline on Wednesday 1 July 2026.
The Staffordshire County Council awards are now in their twelfth year and recognise the compassion and dedication shown by professional and unpaid carers across the county.
The awards aim to highlight people who go the extra mile to make sure others are treated with dignity, kindness and respect. That could include paid care workers, unpaid family carers, care home staff, newcomers to the care sector, or long serving care professionals.
There are nine categories in this year’s awards, including awards for newcomers, long term care professionals, unpaid carers and care home staff.
Martin Rogerson, Cabinet Member for Health and Care at Staffordshire County Council, said
“I’d encourage anyone who knows a carer who goes the extra mile to take a few minutes to submit a nomination before the deadline on 1 July.
“These awards are a chance to recognise the compassion and dedication that carers show every day, often without expecting anything in return.
“By sharing their stories, we can celebrate their achievements and highlight the outstanding standard of care we value across Staffordshire.”
The awards are open to nominations from across Staffordshire, including Stone and the surrounding villages.
Residents can submit nominations through the Dignity in Care Awards webpage. Nominations close on Wednesday 1 July 2026.
