Young person litter picking
Written by Midlothian View Reporter, Liam Eunson
Do you know a young person in Midlothian who’s achieving in the fields of sports, learning, caring, volunteering or creativity? Perhaps they are succeeding in life despite adversity. Nominate them for a Midlothian’s Young People Award and help get them the recognition they deserve.
These awards provide a unique chance to recognise and celebrate the many and varied achievements of our young people, aged from 8 to 26, in Midlothian.
The five award categories reflect the various positive contributions of young people to Midlothian. The categories are:
– Caring and Volunteering
– Local Community
– Sport and Physical Activity
– Arts and Culture
– Achievement in Learning
Closing date for nominations is Friday 23 October 2026.
For more information or to nominate go to www.midlothian.gov.uk/MYPA.
Winners will be announced by Midlothian Lord-Lieutenant, Sarah Barron and Midlothian Provost Debbi McCall at a special ceremony in Rosslyn Chapel in November.
