Grace Cares Wins New Business Award at WAGS 2024 for Transforming the Care Sector

Lichfield’s very own Grace Cares has been recognised on a national stage, winning the New Business Award at the Women Achieving Greatness (WAGS) Awards in London this November. The award celebrates dynamic women who have launched businesses or services within the last three years that have made a significant impact on their sector.

The judges praised Grace Cares for its transformative approach to the care sector, with a focus on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. Since its launch in February 2023, the organisation has rapidly grown, forming key partnerships, expanding operations, and boosting volunteer engagement. “Grace Cares has made remarkable strides in revolutionising the care sector… Their MediCycle initiative and the creation of the Sustainability Guide for Care Managers have made a tangible impact, making Grace Cares a standout leader in sustainable care,” the judges remarked.

Driving Change in the Care Sector
Grace Cares has become a pioneer in sustainable care, helping divert nearly 1,000 pieces of care equipment from landfill while supporting older people, their families, and care providers. The organisation’s MediCycle initiative, a partnership with Staffordshire County Council, has successfully redistributed vital care equipment across the community. Their Sustainability Guide for Care Managers offers actionable advice to care providers striving to adopt greener practices.

Call for Support
As Grace Cares continues to grow, the organisation is calling on individuals and care providers to support their mission by purchasing pre-loved care equipment. Every purchase helps fund their impactful initiatives, ensuring more older people and their families benefit from sustainable care solutions.

Hannah Montgomery, co-founder of Grace Cares, expressed her gratitude: “Winning this award is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the entire Grace Cares Tribe. Together, we’re proving that care can be both compassionate and sustainable.”
