Nominations are now being accepted for the 2026 Renfrewshire Provost Community Awards, and Renfrewshire’s Provost Lorraine Cameron is encouraging locals to submit their nominations now to beat the Friday 3 January 2026 deadline.
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)
Provost Cameron said: “The deadline is fast approaching and I want to make sure everyone has plenty of time to get their nominations in. It’s a fantastic opportunity to recognise the unsung heroes in your area who go the extra mile without looking for a reward.
“You can nominate a friend, family member or colleague for an award, and you can also nominate someone even if they’ve been entered in previous years. There are categories for groups, and individuals, so there’s something to fit everyone.
“Our nomination form is online, meaning it’s never been easier to submit. We want to know exactly why your nominee deserves to be recognised so please give us as much detail as you can on the form about why the person, or group, is so special.
“I know everyone is busy over this time of year and it can be easy to forget about things, so why not take the time now to submit your nomination and beat the deadline.
“I can’t wait to read your nominations.”
The deadline for entries is midnight on Friday 3rd January 2026.
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 2026.
