Galway City Mayor’s Awards 2022
|
The annual Galway City Council Mayor’s Awards are a great opportunity to acknowledge outstanding individuals and groups for their commitment and participation in voluntary activities, benefiting the many diverse communities throughout the City.
“
The Mayor’s Awards provide an opportunity to acknowledge people who commit time and effort to make their community a better place. We all know people who despite their incredibly busy lives still find time to support neighbours, local groups and community in a very significant way. On this, the nineteenth year of the Awards, I am delighted that we can be here in person to acknowledge and celebrate true community spirit as per the long-established Irish meitheal that brings communities together.
