Nominations for local heroes from communities across Scotland is underway as the Scottish Parliament commemorate the 25th anniversary, since the official opening by Queen Elizabeth II, on 1 July 1999.
SNP MSP Ruth Maguire for Cunninghame South is seeking nominations for local heroes to join her at the historic event which is set to take place on Saturday 29 June.
Taking place in the Parliament’s Debating Chamber the event will be a celebration of the achievements of the Parliament over the last 25 years as well as a celebration of Scottish music and culture that will include performances from young people from across the country, with the successful nominee attending a lunch hosted by the Presiding Officer.
Ruth Maguire MSP said
“The Scottish Parliament has always been recognised as a parliament for the people.
As we celebrate 25 years of devolution it is only right that a key element of this historic event will be recognising those who have made such a huge difference to their local areas.
I know many of my constituents have made extraordinary contributions to our local neighbourhoods, and I am keen to hear from those who wish to nominate someone who they feel has made life better for others”
To nominate, please email ruth.maguire.msp@parliament.scot, providing information on your local hero, their contribution to our community and their contact details, or visit the contact page, by Wednesday 29 May 2024.
