Short Breaks - Shining Star nominations 2026

Every summer, we love celebrating the incredible members of our Short Breaks Crew who go the extra mile to make a difference for children, young people, and families.

That's why we're inviting both families and staff to vote for the team members who have truly shone this summer. The crew members with the most votes will be crowned our Shining Stars of 2026 and will receive a special prize in recognition of their hard work and dedication.

Awards will be presented at our Family Fun Day on Friday 28th August.

To cast your vote, please use the form below to nominate up to three members of the crew who have stood out to your family this summer. We'd love to hear why you've chosen them, so please include a reason for each nomination.

To help with names, you'll find a collage of all crew members below.

Please note that voting is open for Short Breaks Crew members only and does not include supervisors or managers. However, if you would like to share positive feedback about a supervisor or manager, there are additional feedback boxes available within the form.

Voting closes at the end of the day on Sunday 23rd August, so don't miss your chance to have your say!
