"As Renfrewshire's Provost, it's my privilege to meet many people in our community who show such dedication to others and achieve so much.
The Provost's Community Awards are your chance to tell us that you admire these people too, and you'd like them to be rewarded for who they are and what they do.
If you know someone who helps others, who makes a difference in their community or who battles to overcome physical or emotional barriers in their life, nominating them for one of these awards is a great way of showing what you think of them."
