NOMINATIONS Sought For Queen’s Awards For Voluntary ServicePEOPLE in Inverclyde are being urged to nominate deserving community groups to be honoured with the Queen’s Awards for Voluntary Service.
Lord-Lieutenant Guy Clark — the Queen’s representative in Inverclyde, East Renfrewshire and Renfrewshire — is calling for local people to put forward voluntary groups which deserve recognition for their outstanding work in their community.
He said: “I know there must be many local organisations that would be worthy winners of this very special award.
“Voluntary groups make such a difference in their communities and make such a massive contribution to people’s lives. They do it selflessly and they deserve some public recognition.”
Nominations must be in by Friday 14 September 2018.
The award was introduced by the Queen in 2002 in celebration of her Golden Jubilee.
Inverclyde Provost Martin Brennan said: “There are many groups in Inverclyde doing a sterling job in their communities, and this is the chance to show them that they are truly appreciated.
“Volunteering takes time and energy and, although they don’t do it for the recognition, this award allows us to say a huge thank-you to those who deserve it.”
Full details and nomination forms are available at the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service website.
