It’s time to nominate Lanarkshire’s super ‘Unsung Heros’ for 2011

PEOPLE across the county are being invited to nominate their candidates for the Lanarkshire ‘Unsung Heroes’ and ‘Young Persons’ Awards for 2011 which is again being organised by Supercounty, the Lanarkshire Civic Pride Campaign.

Supercounty chairman Ian Livingstone said: “Our aim is to highlight and pay tribute to some of the many ‘Unsung Heroes’ who in their own modest, kind and caring way work behind the scenes to enhance the community in which they live.

“Supercounty was among the first organisations in Lanarkshire to honour its ‘Unsung Heroes’ in this way, and we’re still enthusiastic about creating this platform to say ‘Well done – and thanks’ to these community-minded individuals.
