It's time to honour social care heroes at the Wales Care Awards
The Wales Care Awards take place in Cardiff's City Hall tonight (October 18) where we'll be honouring the hardworking heroes of social care from all over Wales.
This year, the 11th year of the Awards, there are 47 nominees for a total of 15 categories ranging from Exceptional Newcomer to Nurse of the Year and everything in between.
We honour those who work with people with mental health issues, children and young people, managers, staff on the ground and the all-important hospitality and catering staff.
We have the honour of being entertained by Welsh mezzo soprano Sioned Terry and our compere is once again BBC Wales' Lucy Owen (pictured below).
