Time to nominate your heroes
It is time to nominate your High Street Heroes in East Kilbride and Strathaven who have gone above and beyond during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Nominations are sought from across South Lanarkshire to recognise the remarkable efforts to support town centres through the crisis.
Special awards will be presented to honour the heroes of Scotland’s high streets to reward their dedication and determination to help those around them during the coronavirus outbreak.
The High Street Heroes Awards will recognise the remarkable efforts of those who have supported their communities at a time when their help has never been needed more.
Members of the public can nominate a local person, business or organisation which they feel has made a difference - from helping vulnerable neighbours to keeping town centres welcoming and safe as restrictions have eased.
The awards are being organised as part of the Scotland Loves Local campaign, which encourages shoppers across the country to think local first and back businesses in their own town centre before travelling further afield or turning to online retail giants.
Throughout the COVID-19 lockdown, town centre businesses have demonstrated true commitment to their communities by doing all they can to help ensure vulnerable people have not gone without essential supplies, to support jobs and be there for all those who have needed them.
Nominations for the High Street Heroes Awards can be made at https://lovelocal.scot/ high-street-heroes/.
There, you can briefly share the details of the person, local business or organisation you would like to see rewarded and why.
