Carers Trust Heart of England are delighted to announce that we will once again be hosting our annual Carer Awards Ceremony Thursday 20th November at the Iconic St Marys Guildhall, Coventry.
The Carer Awards is an opportunity for the local community to come together to celebrate the selfless work of not only carers but also the businesses, educational organisations and fundraisers that have gone above and beyond to help support carers and those they care for. Please remember that you can nominate individuals and organisations from both Coventry and Warwickshire.
We are encouraging local organisations to play their part in supporting local heroes by taking advantage of our exciting sponsorship opportunities, noted below.

We are excited to reveal our award categories for this years ceremony; please check out the categories below and click to submit your nominations. The window to nominate closes at 10am on Friday 10th October.
