Now in its 19th year, the County Monaghan Volunteer Awards celebrate the extraordinary contributions of volunteers and voluntary organisations across the county.
This year, nominations are invited in four categories:
- Volunteer of the Year
- Lifetime Achievement
- The Volunteer Team Award
- The Volunteer Group Award
The awards aim to recognise both long standing volunteers and those new to volunteering. We warmly welcome nominations from all corners of County Monaghan.
This year’s winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony on Sunday 4th October in the Íontas Theatre, Castleblayney.
Since their inception in 2007, the County Monaghan Volunteer Awards have recognised volunteers from a wide range of causes, including sports clubs, heritage groups, disability services, older people’s initiatives, and more.
If you are part of a community or voluntary organisation, nominating a volunteer is a wonderful way to show appreciation for their dedication and impact.
