Singing care worker Macey Shaw in grand final of national talent show
She cares by day and belts out West End hits by night!
Now 18-year-old Macey Shaw is set to take centre stage at the Homecare’s Got Talent 2025 grand final!
It is a national competition shining a spotlight on the incredible talents of people working in the care sector, writes Graham Walker.

The Mansfield teen, representing Caremark Mansfield & Ashfield, is also a musical theatre student and sung her way into spotlight of the national talent show, dazzling judges at the Manchester semi-finals.
She performed a roof-raising rendition of Queen’s Somebody to Love — taken from the smash-hit musical, We Will Rock You.
And rock them she did.
Now Macey will compete in the grand final for the crown.
The top prize is £1,000, an all-inclusive holiday for two, and the once-in-a-lifetime chance to perform live with pop legends THE FIZZ (formerly Bucks Fizz) at Carefest 2025 in Sheffield.
With a heart full of care and a voice to match, Macey is the definition of talent with purpose.
Balancing her musical theatre studies with her work supporting vulnerable people, she’s proof that the care sector is bursting with unsung heroes and show-stopping potential.
Macey, who dreams of one day performing professionally, said of reaching the final of the national talent competition: “It still doesn’t feel real! I love my job in care, and I love performing — to have both worlds come together like this is just amazing.”
Her heartfelt performance and dedication to both her clients and her craft made her a standout in this year’s competition, which received hundreds of entries from across Scotland, England and Wales.
This year’s judging panel features Bucks Fizz legends Cheryl Baker and Jay Aston, Saffron (Republica), John Partridge (EastEnders), Matt Jameson (Married at First Sight), Kuill (The Voice UK), Sameena Ali-Khan (ITV News) and BBC Radio’s Becky Measures.
Supported by major sponsors and care brands, all proceeds from the competition go to the Care Workers’ Charity — because behind every performance is a story of care, courage, and community.
Homecare’s Got Talent was created and is spearheaded by Dan Archer, the UK CEO and founder of Visiting Angels.
He launched the competition to showcase the hidden talents of homecare workers, shining a light on their creativity beyond their caregiving roles.
It celebrates the compassion, creativity, and individuality of the UK’s care professionals — giving care workers a chance to shine, spotlight their stories, and share their passions beyond the uniform.
