Kirklees Council care awards

Overview

In early July 2026, Kirklees and Enfield councils held a community awards event that recognized the contributions of carers. Later that month, Kirklees Council staged its annual Shining Stars and Recognition Awards, honoring over 350 children and young people in care across the borough for achievements in education, creativity, sport and community kindness. Council officials highlighted the importance of feeling loved and celebrated, and thanked foster carers, staff and partner organisations for their support.

The ceremonies illustrate the council’s ongoing commitment to celebrating both carers and children in care, reinforcing its role as a corporate parent and community pillar.
