McMillan recommends nominating Young Scots

Stuart McMillan MSP (SNP) is calling for the public to nominate members of the community ageing between 11 to 26 years who have had a positive impact on the local area.

The Sunday Mail Young Scot Awards 2012, in association with The Co-operative Foundation, are asking for nominations to be submitted to www.youngscotawards.co.uk before Friday 26th February. The Awards organisers want to hear life changing stories that show the good of Scotland’s young people.

There are 15 awards, from sports to entertainment, unsung hero and volunteering. Vote for who you think has really made a difference to people's lives this year. The final 3 people in each category will get a VIP invitation to attend the awards ceremony at the Glasgow Hilton Hotel on Thursday 26th April 2012 where they can mingle with celebrities, politicians and other well known guests.

Mr McMillan MSP said:

“I have met a great amount of young adults in the West Scotland area in recent times, many of them are dedicated to putting someone else first and help change the life’s of others.

“I highly recommend that if you know someone or a group, in West Scotland, that has made a valuable contribution to the local community then you should nominate them to the Young Scot Awards.

“Overall there are 15 different awards, some individual, some group efforts. The more people nominated from your local community, the better, more positive outcome it has on the area. The local youngsters of West Scotland deserve recognition for their achievements.”
