In partnership with sportscotland, East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure's Sports Development team have set up the awards, to recognise and reward the hard work and commitment of local coaches, officials and volunteers who contribute and make a difference to sport in East Renfrewshire.
The awards are a way of saying a big 'thank you' to all the vital people delivering sport in East Renfrewshire and represent a unique way to recognise coaching, officiating and volunteering achievement across schools, clubs and communities in the area.
The contribution made by individuals is immense and their dedication and hard work is central to ensuring excellent sporting opportunities for all in East Renfrewshire.
