We’re delighted to announce the finalists for this year’s Extraordinary People Awards.

Our judging panels had the difficult task of selecting the finalists from more than 350 nominations. The incredible number of nominations is a testament to the dedication, compassion and hard work of our staff and volunteers, and to the gratitude of the patients, families and communities they care for every day.

All finalists have been invited to a special celebration event at Sandy Park, Exeter, on Friday 2 October 2025, where the winners will be announced.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to recognise the amazing people who go above and beyond to provide outstanding care and support.

We are also incredibly grateful to our corporate sponsors for their generous support in helping make this event possible. Our headline sponsor this year is the Improving Lives Staff Lottery.

A special thank you to all the sponsors supporting our awards this year.
