For Paul O’Kane MSP the search is on for a Local Hero in the West Scotland Region who has made a positive difference to the lives of others over last challenging 18 months.
Over the last 4 weeks Paul has been on his Summer Tour visiting local community groups and social projects that have been supporting people in West Scotland throughout the pandemic.
From today, Paul O’Kane can help ensure one of his constituents receives recognition for the important work they do to help others locally or nationally during the COVID-19 pandemic by nominating them as a Local Hero.
Launching the campaign Paul O’Kane said:
“I know many people across the West Scotland region give their time and energy selflessly during a very difficult and challenging time, to make a positive contribution to the lives of others – often without recognition.
“Since I was elected in May, I have been out and about in West Scotland meeting local community groups and charities as a part of my Summer Tour. Whilst meeting these groups I have seen just how amazing our local communities are.
“Together with my fellow MSPs, we want to celebrate the achievements of our Local Heroes across every constituency and region in Scotland as part of the Opening Ceremony.”
Paul continued:
“I am really looking forward to receiving nominations for our Local Hero, perhaps from their friends, family or work colleagues, maybe even from potential Local Heroes themselves. If you’ve got a good suggestion, please get in touch.
“As the Sixth Session of the Scottish Parliament gets underway, it is right that, the people of Scotland are placed at the heart of our events.”
