More than 30 individuals have been recognised for their community work in South Lanarkshire at the Provosts Annual 2025 Awards.
Amongst them were several Blantyre residents who were given much deserved awards for their community work. Recipients included
- Ryan and Carla Buchanan for their fundraising, support of good causes and “significant impact on the community”;
- Jonathan Oliver of Lodge Blantyre Kilwinning which raises charity funds and donates a Christmas selection box to all local youngsters;
- “tireless” community stalwart Jean Orr of Blantyre community council, Bonnie Blantyre and Friends of Calder; and
- former Blantyre Miners chair Andy Simm, whose achievements include helping to develop the area’s community garden.
Well done to everybody who received an award. Very well deserved and we’re sure the rest of the community will join us in congratulating each one of you!
