Abstract
The National Association of Care Catering (NACC) has revealed the shortlist for the NACC Awards 2022, which aim to celebrate ‘excellence, innovation, dedication and outstanding contributions’ within the care catering sector.

The overall winners will be announced at a special gala awards dinner on Thursday 6th October 2022, which is part of the NACC Training & Development Forum held at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham.

Sue Cawthray, national chair of the NACC, said: “Huge congratulations to all the shortlisted finalists. Care catering professionals continue to work and care for older and vulnerable people in incredibly challenging circumstances – from staff shortages to the cost-of-living crisis and supply chain issues, and not forgetting the impact of the pandemic that we are still feeling.

“The agility, tenacity, dedication, energy and brilliance that care caterers continue to exude across the country are encapsulated in the NACC Awards finalists and I am in awe of them all. I very much look forward to the gala awards dinner where we will come together with fellow members, colleagues and friends, to reflect, recognise and celebrate the amazing people in our sector.

“Their fantastic work and achievements make an enormous difference to the lives of so many through good food and nutrition and meaningful mealtime experiences. I wish all the finalists the very best of luck!”
