Junior Saltire Awards
Junior Saltire Awards are a local
initiative delivered by Voluntary
Action East Renfrewshire which
recognises, celebrates, and rewards
the commitment of young volunteers
as a stepping stone to the national
Saltire Awards.
Last year, 6 local primary schools
created volunteering opportunities
with their pupils and presented
them with a certificate at the end of
the year.
“From the schools point of view, the
award itself has really motivated the
children to become more actively
involved in the school community”
