Community Awards

The Live Here Love Here Community Awards celebrate the incredible groups making a real difference in their local areas. Held annually at the start of the year, the event celebrates the passion, dedication, and positive impact of volunteers across Northern Ireland.

Shine a spotlight on your local heroes, the people and projects that inspire you and help make your community a cleaner, greener, and kinder place to live.
