💫 Congratulations to volunteer, Brian Fowler, for receiving The Lord Provost Volunteering Bon Accord Award!
On Wednesday night, Brian and his wife attended the award ceremony where Brian was recognised for his individual outstanding commitment to volunteering for Aberdeen FC Community Trust. 👏
Brian, who has been with the Trust for over 4 years, dedicates his time every week to supporting our Community Programmes which includes Health Walks, Memories Groups, the Community Hub and more. He has become a valued person of the AFCCT family and a familiar face for all of our participants!
Well done Brian, it is well deserved and we hope you enjoyed your evening! ❤️
