All Ireland Community & Council Awards 2021 presented by IPB Insurance and LAMA (Local Authority Members Association) is now open for nominations for the 2021 Awards.
We know that the last year has been a difficult year for everyone. From teachers to parents, students to grandparents, no one has been left untouched by COVID-19. Our way of life and routine changed over night and we had to learn how to adapt very quickly. The LAMA awards celebrate community and councils working together, but now, in it’s 15th year, this award ceremony will honour all of those who went above and beyond in these uncertain times. The awards provide a great opportunity to highlight, recognise and celebrate the work done within our communities, to reward our unsung heroes and recognise the phenomenal contribution they’ve made to our lives. Be it a first responder, a volunteer or an initiative that changed someone’s life for the better, these awards will acknowledge and honour these heroes.
The Awards are scheduled to take place on 27th November 2021 at the Crowne Plaza, Dublin Airport. With over 20 awards to be given out on the night, it promises to be an occasion not to be missed!
