Asthma and Allergy Foundation, An Aberdeen based charity that that provides evidence-based health information, confidential advice and support to people with asthma, their families, carers and friends across the north-east of Scotland are hosting its first Health and Humanitarian Awards Ceremony. This Awards aims to honour the people who have made significant contribution to the many projects undertaken by the organisation. The Ceremony will also recognise people with a passion for helping others, including those who have invested hugely in creating opportunities to foster people development and organisations, local community groups as well as people whose lifelong commitment have made a significant difference in the provision of effective and efficient social care and healthcare services in our communities.
AAF Health and Humanitarian Awards want to know about people who have genuinely made a difference to your life or the lives of your family and friends. Or an organisation you know delivers outstanding Health and Social Care Services to the People of Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire. Perhaps you have an outstanding boss and you want them recognised for going above and beyond to support everyone in the team. Or an individual who work tirelessly to improve respiratory care in Grampian.
