Two homecare workers from London are preparing to step into the spotlight after securing places in the grand final of Homecare’s Got Talent 2026. Singers Abby Parker and Jennifer Oniya will perform at The Crescent Theatre in Birmingham on Friday 7th August in front of a live audience and celebrity judging panel.
Abby and Jennifer are among 12 acts from across the UK to reach the final, with this year’s line-up spanning solo singers, musical duos, dance and drag. After impressing during the earlier stages of the competition, both are now preparing to represent London on the national stage.
Created to celebrate the personalities, creativity and hidden talents of people working across the homecare sector, Homecare’s Got Talent gives those who spend their working lives supporting others the chance to step into the spotlight themselves.
The pair will perform for a star-studded judging panel featuring Kuill, known for appearing on The Voice UK, BBC Radio presenter Becky Measures, Jay Aston of Bucks Fizz, and acclaimed guitarist Dave Colquhoun. Together, the judges will face the difficult task of choosing this year’s winner from a line-up representing communities across the country.
Dan Archer, UK CEO of Visiting Angels and founder of Homecare’s Got Talent, said: “Every year, this competition reminds us just how much creativity, personality and confidence exists across the homecare sector. Our finalists spend their working lives caring for and supporting other people, but Homecare’s Got Talent gives us the chance to celebrate who they are beyond their day jobs.
“Abby and Jennifer have already shown enormous courage by putting themselves forward and earning their places in the final. We would love people from across London to get behind them, come along to Birmingham and help us give them and every performer the reception they deserve.”
