Provost Awards 2009
The Provost’s Community Awards will reach their 11th anniversary this year and to celebrate Provost Lawson has introduced two new categories: the Arts and Culture Award and the Spirit of Fairtrade Award, which is sponsored by The Piazza.
Provost Lawson said: “The Community Awards have always been a wonderful way to recognise the amazing stories and achievements of everyday people living here in Renfrewshire. This year we have decided to build on that tradition and expand it to include those who have made an outstanding achievement in the fields of art and culture and promoting the Fairtrade cause.”
Maureen Hill, Piazza Centre Manager, said: “We’re delighted to sponsor the Spirit of Fairtrade Award. At the Piazza, we pride ourselves on being at the heart of the Paisley community, and this award further demonstrates our support of Paisley’s bid to become a Fairtrade town.
“We’re also been involved with the Provost’s Community Awards for several years now, so it’s fantastic to be able to sponsor an award for a cause that is close to our heart.”
