2021 IPB Competition Awards
We look forward to welcoming 400 delegates to the IPB Pride of Place Awards this Monday the 16th of May when we celebrate 86 community groups from across the island of Ireland at the INEC Killarney. The awards are hosted by Kerry County Council and Kerry Cathaoirleach Jimmy Moloney said: “We are so proud to be hosting this illustrious awards ceremony here in Kerry. The response of community and voluntary groups across Ireland over the past two years during the pandemic and currently in supporting the integration of refugees from Ukraine makes it an appropriate time to acknowledge this outstanding work.”
To emphasise the spirit of the awards, Chairman of IPB Insurance George Jones said: “The IPB Pride of Place Awards are an ideal platform to recognise the positive social impacts being made in communities across the island of Ireland. I would like to take this opportunity to commend all the communities involved for their spirit of collaboration and camaraderie in making it to the finals.”
The awards were established to promote and celebrate the best in community development, the awards recognise the selfless efforts of people in making their local neighbourhoods better places to live, work and socialise. Peter Sheridan Chief Executive Officer, Co-operation Ireland added “We work to build relationships across the island and Pride of Place plays a critical role in that work. The impact the awards have had in towns and villages across the island since they started in 2003 cannot be underestimated, and the continuing success of the awards is down to the dedicated volunteers and their love of where they live.
Join us live at 7pm next Monday the 16th at https://prideofplace.ie/ to enjoy the IPB Pride of Place awards
