A Proud Achievement at the LaingBuisson Awards 2026
The LaingBuisson Awards are among the most respected honours in the UK health and social care sector, celebrating organisations that demonstrate outstanding quality, innovation and commitment to delivering exceptional care. Being shortlisted alongside so many outstanding providers is a significant achievement and one that reflects the hard work, passion and dedication of our entire team.
For everyone at Ailsa Care, this recognition is particularly meaningful as it highlights the impact our children’s services have on the lives of children, young people and their families across Falkirk and Stirling.
What the LaingBuisson Finalist Recognition Means for Ailsa Care
Being named a LaingBuisson finalist is a testament to the values that underpin everything we do. Our teams are committed to providing person-centred support that enables children and young people to thrive, develop independence and achieve their goals.
Every child and family we support has unique needs, and our approach is built around understanding those needs and delivering care that promotes dignity, confidence and wellbeing. This recognition reflects our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of care while continually seeking ways to improve and enhance our services.
Excellence in Children’s Services at the Heart of Everything We Do
Supporting children and young people requires specialist knowledge, compassion and an unwavering commitment to delivering positive outcomes. At Ailsa Care, we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of the challenges they may face.
Our colleagues work closely with families, healthcare professionals and other partners to ensure children receive the support they need to lead fulfilling lives. Through meaningful relationships, tailored care plans and a focus on individual strengths, our teams help young people build confidence, develop skills and participate in their communities.

Supporting Children, Young People and Their Families
We understand that quality care extends beyond the individual and includes supporting the wider family network. Families place enormous trust in care providers, and we never take that responsibility for granted.
Our teams strive to create positive, collaborative relationships with families, ensuring they feel informed, supported and involved throughout the care journey. It is this partnership approach that helps us deliver the best possible outcomes for those we support.
A Thank You to Our Dedicated Care Teams
This achievement would not have been possible without our incredible Care Assistants and office colleagues. Every member of the Ailsa Care team plays an important role in delivering the high-quality support that has led to this LaingBuisson recognition.
Their professionalism, commitment and compassion make a difference every day, helping children and young people live happier, safer and more independent lives.
Our Operations Director, Mark, said:
“To be named a finalist for Excellence in Children’s Services is a significant achievement for Ailsa Care Services. This recognition belongs to every member of our team, whose unwavering commitment, professionalism and compassion make a real difference in the lives of children and young adults every day. We are honoured to be recognised alongside so many exceptional organisations.”

Looking Ahead to the LaingBuisson Awards Ceremony
While we are proud to be finalists, this recognition is also an opportunity to reflect on how far we have come and the positive impact our teams continue to make every day.
As we look ahead to the LaingBuisson Awards ceremony, we do so with gratitude and pride. We would like to thank our colleagues, the children and young people we support, and their families for the trust they place in us every day.
Regardless of the outcome, being recognised as a finalist is a remarkable achievement and one that celebrates the dedication, expertise and compassion that define Ailsa Care.
