McMillan Encourages Local Inspirational Youngsters Award Nomination

Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP) is encouraging groups of young people in Inverclyde to enter the 2010 Philip Lawrence Awards Network (PLAnet).

The awards network is looking for groups of young people aged 11-20 who have made a difference in their community to enter the awards.

Mr. McMillan said;

"I have met with a number of young people in Inverclyde and I know that there are plenty making a positive difference in our communities.

"We all know young people often get a bad press but I know from first hand experience that this is not always the case and I would encourage people in Inverclyde to nominate those they think deserve recognition or even themselves.

"The prize of £1,000 to invest in continuing their good work in Inverclyde gives an excellent opportunity to providing a bit of financial stability to the successful initiative.
