Shout about your talent!

It’s the time of year to celebrate the amazingly talented people who make up the care home workforce.

Submissions for this year’s Care Sector’s Got Talent show are due this month. Organised by Championing Social Care, the flagship event is the perfect opportunity to showcase your singing, dancing, comedy, magic and musical talents.

Last year’s hugely successful finals event was watched live online by more than 400 people with 1,175 people watching on YouTube.

The event was won by Bollywood sensation, Sarabdeep Singh, of Hallmark Care Homes.

After triumphing, Sarabdeep was awarded a £500 LoveToShop voucher and performed at a prestigious awards event and The Care Show.

If you have a special talent you would like to share this year, the deadline for submissions is 19 March.

The event is a great way to have fun and spread some joy in these tough times.

The final extravaganza, which is expected to be even bigger and better than last year, will take place on 20 April at the Derby Arena.

Care Sector’s Got Talent is one of a string of celebratory, marquee events run by Championing Social Care this year.

Other key dates for your diary include Care Home Open Week (26 June - 2 July), #SparkleforSocialCare (July) and the Care Sector Ball (30 September).
