We’re proud to announce that our Bedford team has been named a finalist in the 2025 Home Care Awards for Best Start-Up or New Franchise in a Network!
This remarkable achievement is a testament to the dedication, passion, and hard work of the entire Bedford team, who have made a significant impact in their community in such a short time.
What are the Home Care Awards?
The Home Care Awards celebrate excellence in the homecare sector, recognising organisations and individuals who provide outstanding support, innovation, and care across the UK. Each year, the awards shine a spotlight on the very best in the industry, highlighting those who go above and beyond to deliver quality care to clients. To be recognised as a finalist is an honour and speaks volumes about the incredible work happening within the team at Bedford.
Their achievements to far
Our Bedford team has hit the ground running, demonstrating excellence from the very start and setting a high bar for new providers. They have gone above and beyond to get out into their community, make valuable partnerships, and work hard to support individuals and families in need.
One of their standout initiatives has been their commitment to breaking the stigma surrounding care within the Asian community. The team has engaged with local organisations, faith groups, and cultural leaders to build trust and raise awareness about the importance of high-quality, person-centred care. This proactive approach has not only strengthened their local presence but has also provided essential support to families navigating care decisions. It even provided a new job opportunity for a local mum, who had never considered a career in care before meeting director Shaz.
Shaz Islam, director of the Bedford branch, shared her thoughts on the recognition:
“Being named a finalist for the 2025 Home Care Awards is an incredible honour. Our team is deeply passionate about making a real difference in our community. We are particularly proud of the work we’ve done to build relationships and tackle stigma in the Asian community, and this recognition inspires us to continue raising the standard for homecare. I couldn’t be prouder of the team’s hard work and dedication.”
Win or lose, being named a finalist is a testament to the team’s commitment to delivering exceptional care and improving lives.
Good luck to all the finalists at the 2025 Home Care Awards – and here’s to celebrating excellence in home care!
