Sometimes, being recognised reminds people that their work matters.

In care, so much meaningful work happens quietly.

A family supported through a difficult moment.
A difficult shift handled with compassion.
A team member encouraged when they needed it.
A colleague given the confidence to step forward.

These moments matter.

And the people behind them deserve to be seen.

Who deserves that recognition this year?

Sometimes, the person who deserves recognition is the one who would never think to put their own name forward.

That's where you come in.

Who deserves to be recognised this year?

Nominations are ongoing for the BWIC Care Legacy Awards 2026

And we're asking you to think beyond job titles, job descriptions and seniority.

Think about the person who makes a difference. The one who shows up, leads, supports, advocates, inspires or simply makes the people around them better.

Who came to mind?

You might call it “just doing my job.”

But what if you've been doing more than you realise?

Supporting someone through a difficult moment.
Advocating when it matters.
Helping a colleague find their feet.
Stepping up when your team needs you.
Making a difference in ways that have become so normal, you barely notice them anymore.

Your job title doesn't tell the whole story of your impact.

So, take another look at what you've been doing.

What if it's worth recognising?

The BWIC Care Legacy Awards 2026 ongoing and you can nominate yourself.

Don't wait for someone else to tell your story.

You know that thing where someone asks, “How are you?” and you automatically say, “I’m fine” before you've even thought about it?

Then you carry on.

You get through your shift.
You answer the messages.
You help someone else figure things out.
You go home tired, but tell yourself you'll deal with how you're feeling later.

And then “later” becomes next week.

For people who spend so much of their time caring for others, it can be surprisingly easy to get used to putting yourself somewhere at the bottom of the list.

That was one of the things we wanted to remind us of: the person doing the caring deserves care and consideration too.

Not just during a campaign. Not just when you're completely exhausted.

So here's our question to you today:

HOW ARE YOU DOING?
PS: Answer without saying "I'm fine"

So, tell us in the comments. You don't have to make it sound good. 💙

The Government is inviting unpaid carers and those with lived experience of caring to share their views as part of its review of Carer's Allowance.

If you've cared for a loved one, your experiences matter. This is an opportunity to highlight what's working, what isn't, and what could better support unpaid carers in the future.

🚨 Deadline: 18 August 2026

Visit the official consultation and share your views through the link in our bio.

Every experience adds to the conversation and helps ensure carers' voices are heard.
