Patricia Sheridan, the founder of the Moore House Group, has won recognition from the Great British Care Awards for her Outstanding Contribution to Social Care.
The award is said to reflect the “exceptional leadership” which she has shown in working with vulnerable children and young people. Moore House Group with its head office in Livingston has been in existence for about 35 years or more.
Mrs Sheridan said: “This recognition is not just a personal achievement but one that is also owed to the collective dedication and passion of our entire team at Moore House Group.
“Together, we strive every day to make a positive difference in the lives of those we serve. This award is a reflection of our shared commitment to excellence and our determination to advocate for the most vulnerable members of society.”
The judges said: “Patricia’s unwavering dedication to the well-being of over 1,000 children she’s cared for in the past six decades makes her a deserving recipient of this award.
“Her commitment to continuing excellence ensures that she remains a steadfast support for children and families for years to come.
“As a visionary entrepreneur, Patricia has established three organisations dedicated to supporting vulnerable children. She is equally passionate about cultivating a skilled and confident workforce to ensure the best possible experience for each individual under their care.”
