🌟 2025 Awards Finalists Announced! 🌟
This year, the Rehability Awards embrace a powerful theme: Shining Together.
At Rehability UK, we believe that none of us shine alone. Every bright moment we create is made possible by people supporting one another – colleagues uplifting colleagues, teams uplifting individuals, and the people we support inspiring us all. Together, we celebrate the light we bring to each other’s lives.
The Rehability Awards give employees, the people we support, and their families an opportunity to nominate someone they feel has provided exceptional service during the year.
We also have three special categories for the people we support, recognising the fantastic progress and contribution they have made throughout the year.
The awards celebrate our shared achievements and showcase the outstanding commitment of individuals and teams across Rehability UK. 💚
