The Sun is partnering with Channel 4 and NHS Charities Together to make the annual Who Cares Wins awards the biggest yet.

The awards were set up in 2017, as a way for readers to celebrate their NHS and healthcare heroes, and are now in their fourth year.

This will be the first partnership with Channel 4, which will broadcast the awards, and see the return of the partnership with NHS Charities Together.

Victoria Newton, editor-in-chief of The Sun, said: “The Sun’s Who Cares Wins awards has always celebrated our NHS heroes, and that’s why we’re so pleased to be partnering with Channel 4 and NHS Charities Together this year to make Who Cares Wins even bigger, after such an extraordinary effort by our health care key workers.

“There is a crucial public interest in commemorating those who went above and beyond to keep us safe, and I look forward to celebrating the tremendous effort given by those people in such challenging circumstances.”

Ian Katz, director of programmes for Channel 4, added: “The past year has reminded us more powerfully than ever before of the debt we owe the remarkable NHS staff and other healthcare workers who have sacrificed so much to keep us healthy, so I’m delighted that we are partnering with The Sun to bring their Who Cares Wins Awards ceremony to homes across the country. It promises to be a stirring as well as hugely entertaining event.”

Ellie Orton, chief executive of NHS Charities Together, said: “There are so many powerful stories to tell, and this is an opportunity to tell them and show how much we appreciate what they have done and continue to do for all of us.”

The winners of the Who Cares Wins Awards 2021 will be revealed at a star-studded ceremony later this year.
