Plans to celebrate all the heroes who care for older and vulnerable people across North Yorkshire have been postponed.
The Celebrate Social Care event will now hopefully be held in Autumn 2021 after the ongoing coronavirus pandemic prevented this year’s gathering.
Organiser Mike Padgham said:
“This week we should have been putting the finishing touches to preparations for this year’s event but instead we are planning for next year.
“We are sad, but the amazing job social care workers are doing in the fight against Covid-19 has inspired us to create an even better event next year.”
The first Celebrate Social Care was held in October last year and organisers say it was a great success, attracting around 500 people from social care to Scarborough Spa for an inspiring evening.
The organisers had hoped to repeat that success and had booked the Spa for another party.
Mr Padgham added:
“It is out of our control but we will make sure that next year’s will be a fantastic event, truly honouring those amazing people in social care who, alongside their colleagues in the NHS, have performed miracles helping the country to fight Covid-19.”
North Yorkshire County Council has agreed to be the principal supporter of next October’s event, which will again be held at Scarborough Spa.
Organiser are looking for other organisations, businesses and individuals to step up and sponsor next year’s Celebrate Social Care.
Last year’s Celebrate Social Care featured live music, a four-course celebration dinner and loads of surprise entertainment which included West End singers and all-round entertainer Steve Walls. There was also a special guest appearance from BBC Look North presenter, Harry Gration.
The evening also raised £2,000, which was split between four charities: Saint Catherine’s Hospice, Age UK, Alzheimer’s Society and Dementia Forward.
