Wicklow Volunteer Awards – Nominations 2021
County Wicklow Volunteer Centre is delighted to announce our first volunteer awards. These awards are a recognition of the many individuals and groups of people that work tirelessly in Wicklow to provide services to the old, the young, the lonely, the sporty, and the vulnerable. The awards will recognise the local historians, the tidy towners, DIYers and volunteers looking after animals. The awards will give a bow to the information givers, the help-line listeners and the English language tutors. So please nominate your heroes. Contact leah@volunteerwicklow.ie for further information.
Please note that Wicklow Volunteer Awards may potentially go virtual this year, if public health guidelines permit, we will host the ceremony in the Wicklow County Buildings on Tuesday October 19th from 7pm to 8.30pm.
