Shortlist announced for the Waterford Community and Voluntary Awards

The presentation of the Community and Voluntary Awards sponsorship took place recently in City Hall, Waterford. Without the generous support of the sponsors the awards could not take place.

Now in its 13^th year these awards recognise and reward the contribution made by the community & voluntary sector across Waterford. A total of 56 nominations were received this year. Congratulations to everyone and best wishes to the shortlisted groups and those nominated for the Billy Mc Carthy Individual Volunteer Award. A huge thanks has to go out to our independent panel of adjudicators who had an unenviable task, but a very rewarding one.

The winners and runners up will be announced at the gala ceremony on November 23^rd in The Woodlands Hotel, Waterford where all nominated groups have been invited to attend. WLRs Oliver Carroll and Mary O’ Neill will be co-presenting on the night.
