Following the format of the world-famous talent competition, those making it through to the next stage will be invited to perform live in front of an illustrious panel of judges at the competitions very first in-person live final in Birmingham. The final will also be live streamed around the world, no doubt nervously watched by care teams, families and friends and everyone in the care sector.

The winning act will be awarded £500 in Love2Shop vouchers and will be invited to perform live at this year’s Care Show at the NEC, Birmingham and over the same weekend perform at the Leaders in Care Awards, with travel and accommodation all paid for.

Care Sector’s Got Talent 2022 committee member, Knight Frank’s Mandip Bhogal, said: “We’ve had so many requests for extra time from those currently away on holiday that we feel it is only fair to extend the deadline. From the auditions we’ve already had, I cannot wait to see what this next seven days will bring”

Fellow committee member Angela Boxall, chief operating officer at Majesticare, commented: “Last year Care Sector’s Got Talent took the nation by storm with the fantastic Stronger Together Community choir, and this year with the support of our brilliant sponsors Florence and the Tower Fire Group, we are back and bigger than ever, with our very first live final.
