Love Where You Live – Leitrim 2018

The awards recognise the huge voluntary and community effort that goes into making our beautiful county better in every way. Leitrim Public Participation Network is proud to sponsor the four awards that celebrate your achievements in making sure everyone in the community has the resources they need to participate in local life, regardless of ability, race, creed or age.

• Community Resilience  – for groups of any size that address challenges with continued purpose and vision over time,
• Unsung Hero – celebrating the tireless individual in every community who makes an outstanding contribution to living locally.
