Llais is the main sponsor of the 2025 Accolades
We’re delighted to announce that we’re the main sponsor of the 2025 Accolades.
The Accolades are Social Care Wales’ annual awards that recognise, celebrate and share the excellent work that’s happening across social care and childcare, play and early years in Wales.
Alyson Thomas, our Chief Executive, will give an opening address at the 2025 Accolades awards ceremony, which takes place on 1 May 2025 at Mercure Cardiff Holland House Hotel.
Llais is a national, independent body set up by the Welsh Government to give the people of Wales a stronger voice in health and social care services.
Llais role is to make sure the public’s voice is heard by decision makers. Local Llais teams gather people’s experiences of using health and social care to help decision makers plan and deliver better health and social care services.
Llais has four key duties. It engages with and listens to people and communities about their experiences of health and social care and represents those views to health and social care providers.
The organisation also provides a complaints advocacy service in each region of Wales, and it promotes public awareness of its work with the public and local communities.
Alyson Thomas said:
"Llais is incredibly proud to be the main sponsor of the Social Care Wales Accolades in 2025. These awards are a vital opportunity to celebrate the dedication and innovation within social care across Wales.
“It's so important to recognise the efforts of individuals, teams, and organisations who go above and beyond to support the people of Wales. At Llais, we champion the voices of people who access care and support, and these awards highlight why that is so important. By listening to and valuing lived experience, we can ensure that care and support services are truly person-centred and make a real difference to people's lives.
“We’re excited to be part of an event that showcases good practice, inspires others, and contributes to a better future for social care in Wales.”
Sarah McCarty, Social Care Wales’ Chief Executive, said:
“We’re pleased to welcome Llais on board as the main sponsor of the 2025 Accolades and are delighted it's agreed to sponsor our awards.
“The Accolades are our opportunity to say thank you to our social care and early years teams in Wales and to showcase the valuable work they do to support our most vulnerable citizens.
“We wouldn’t be able to run the Accolades without the support of our sponsors. So, we’re very grateful to Llais for helping us to celebrate great practice and taking this opportunity to show its support for the social care and childcare, play and early years sectors by becoming the main sponsor of the awards.”
