Renfrewshire’s Provost opens search for local heroes

Renfrewshire’s inspiring local heroes are set to be rewarded as nominations for the Provost’s Community Awards open for 2025.

Outstanding groups, volunteers and employees are among those being sought as the awards recognise the people who make Renfrewshire a better place to live, work and visit.

There are five categories available to nominate in and these are:

• Community Volunteer (sponsored by Glasgow Airport Ltd)
• Community Group (sponsored by City Gate Construction)
• Sport Award (sponsored by ACRE Industrial Services)
• Employee of the Year (sponsored by UNISON Renfrewshire)
• Arts and Culture Award (sponsored by Renfrewshire Council)

Renfrewshire’s Provost Lorraine Cameron said: “As the Provost, I meet hundreds of inspiring people and groups every year and it never ceases to amaze me that there is so much fantastic work going on throughout Renfrewshire.

“These awards are an opportunity to pay tribute to the unsung heroes of the area who go the extra mile without looking for a reward and give them the recognition that they deserve.

“The nomination form is online this year so it’s never been easier to complete your nominations. I can’t wait to read them so don’t miss out on the chance to nominate and start getting them in now.”

The deadline for entries to all categories is Friday 3 January 2025

The Provost will be joined by the award sponsors and other local elected members to choose the winners who will be invited, along with their nominator, to the awards ceremony in March 2025.
