Art for a Cause 2026: Celebrating Strength & Resilience
We are delighted to announce the winners of this year’s Art for a Cause competition!
The 2026 theme, Strength & Resilience, invited those across the care sector to reflect on the powerful, everyday realities of caring for others. Through art, writing, and music, entrants explored questions such as:

What does strength look like in the world of care?
How does resilience show up in the everyday moments that matter most?
Where do you find the courage to keep giving, supporting, and caring?

The response was truly incredible. We received a wide range of thoughtful, emotional, and inspiring entries that showcased not only creativity, but the deep compassion and dedication that exists within the care sector.
We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who took part. The team thoroughly enjoyed reviewing every submission and were genuinely blown away by the talent, passion, and honesty behind each piece.
