Sponsor Spotlight: Suffolk New College
Part of the Suffolk Care Awards 2025 Sponsors Spotlight Series
This week, we’re shining our Sponsor Spotlight on Suffolk New College—proud sponsors of the Developing Young People Award at the Suffolk Care Awards 2025.
1. Tell us a bit about your organisation.
Suffolk New College offers a curriculum that enables students and apprentices to:
- Discover and develop their talents.
- Achieve success.
- Be inspired and be ready for the opportunities and next steps in further study, higher education, employment, career advancement, or in contributing to society.
2. Why did you choose to sponsor the Suffolk Care Awards 2025?
Suffolk New College chose to sponsor an award at the Suffolk Care Awards—specifically the “Developing Young People” category—to further its strategic commitment to the health and care sector across Suffolk. We are passionate about building a future workforce within Health and Social Care. Sponsoring this award reinforces their belief that inspiring careers and readiness among young people is key to strengthening the local care workforce.
3. What do you enjoy most about being involved with the Care Awards?
At Suffolk New College, what we enjoy most about being involved in the Suffolk Care Awards is the opportunity to celebrate the dedication, compassion, and excellence that define the care sector across our region. It’s incredibly inspiring to witness the remarkable stories of individuals and teams who go above and beyond every day to make a real difference in people’s lives.
4. Why do you think it’s important for others to get involved in the Suffolk Care Awards?
Being part of the Awards allows us to connect with local care providers, learners, and professionals, and to showcase the incredible career pathways within health and social care. It’s also a valuable chance for our students to see first-hand the positive impact of high-quality care, and to feel proud of the vital roles they are training to step into.
Most of all, we value the sense of community and shared purpose that the Suffolk Care Awards foster—bringing together people who are passionate about care and committed to excellence.
By sponsoring the “Developing Young People” award, Suffolk New College is publicly reinforcing its mission: to inspire the next generation into health and social care roles, forge closer links with employers, and ensure the county has a well-trained, future-ready care workforce.
Just for fun:
5. If you were to win an award for something completely unrelated to work, what would it be and why?
Team award unrelated to work would be “the hold my drink award” – likely to try something completely unhinged, whilst saying it seemed like a good idea at the time.
We’re delighted to have Suffolk New College as part of this year’s Suffolk Care Awards. Their passion for supporting young people into meaningful careers in health and social care reflects the very heart of what these awards are all about—celebrating excellence, community, and the future of care.
