THE last chance to vote for your 2024 Glasgow Community Champions is fast approaching.

The public poll closes on Wednesday, October 30, so make sure you do not miss out on the chance to support the unsung heroes in your area.

The Glasgow Times awards, in association with Glasgow City Council, Allied Vehicles Charity Trust and St Enoch Centre, celebrate everything that is great about the city and its people.

Once again, our readers will have a say in who triumphs in each category in the north west, north east and south areas.

This year, there are four categories where entries will be judged on a citywide basis (Little Champion, Youth Champion, Senior Champion and Sport Champion.)
