The award comes just a few months after the local charity was awarded Large Charity of the Year at the Celebrate Aberdeen awards in September, along with multiple other finalist nominations.

Chief executive, Chris Bennett-Taylor, said: “I am delighted for Conor to have been recognised for his consistent enthusiasm and passion for his work.” Conor represents, and is, a wonderful example of the tireless work and dedication of all our colleagues across Aberdeen Cyrenians services.

“The recognition in being nominated as finalists in three other categories as well as winner of Bright Spark in Social Care demonstrates the high quality of our commitment to investing in people, and the quality of care delivered by all our services.

“To have been awarded Large Charity of the Year at Celebrate Aberdeen and now Conor winning Bright Spark in Social Care is fantastic.”

Conor Morrison added: “I’m so humbled to have even been nominated for this award let alone to win it.

“Our work is always about putting people at the centre of our care, so I don’t really think about my part in it. I work with an amazing team that give so much every day so it feels really good to have been noticed and I’m sure will inspire us to continue helping people.”
