Nominations for annual County Mayor's Community Awards now open

Monday, 25 January 2021 12:53

The awards recognise community groups and individuals who have made difference in their area.

The ceremony will be held on March 24th- the Mayor of the County Mary Linehan Foley will present 9 divisional awards, a group award and an individual award.

Mayor of the County of Cork, Cllr Mary Linehan Foley is encouraging individuals and voluntary groups to contact their local Councillor or Public Participation Network (PPN) representatives to suggest nominees for this year’s awards:

“The Mayor’s Community Awards have been held each year since 2013, with the exception of 2020, due to the pandemic, and the event is a very special occasion where we get to formally recognise the best of our county’s goodwill, generosity and altruism. This year’s awards are particularly important as we celebrate the many selfless volunteers who have supported our communities, our vulnerable and those impacted in so many ways since the onset of Covid19. If there is a local hero or group that go above and beyond and that you feel deserves special acknowledgement, please do contact your local councillor or PPN rep to nominate them. Although our celebration will be a little different this year, it has never been more important to recognise those who have underpinned our response to the challenges of 2020.”

Nominations are open until the 10th of February
