Neel Radia, National Chair of the NACC, comments: “The NACC Awards are very special to the association. They allow us to step back and reflect on the incredible work care caterers do every day to enhance the life quality of those in a care environment through good food and enriching mealtime experiences.
“Mealtimes are at the centre of quality care. Through good nutrition and hydration and person-centred, enjoyable dining we can help improve the physical and mental wellbeing of individuals. Every year, the award entries we receive demonstrate that up and down the country people are going above and beyond to make a difference to the lives of residents and their loved ones, and to wellbeing of their colleagues. There’s an abundance of innovation and creativity, teamwork and leadership, and dedication, professionalism and flair within care catering and we want to celebrate it. We urge everyone to download the nomination brochure and enter!”
Entry to the NACC Awards is open to members of the NACC. For more information about how to become a member visit www.thenacc.co.uk.
