The Glasgow Times

Community Champion Awards

Summary

The Glasgow Times Community Champion Awards have been rewarding locals who make Glasgow a better place to live for almost 20 years. The awards go right to the heart of communities across the city, from the north east, south and north west, before bringing the area finalists together at the end of the year for an overall, city-wide celebration.

So far, more than 1,000 community champions have been recognised as finalists and winners. Our community champions are recognised across ten categories to ensure that local heroes of all types are identified. The range of categories, paired with our area-by-area approach, gives the awards a unique ability to reach and reward those whose efforts may otherwise go unnoticed.
