The IPB Pride of Place Awards 2025

After an amazing summer of judging visits, we’re now looking forward to celebrating all of our incredible communities at this year’s IPB Pride of Place Awards on Friday, 7th November at the Limerick Strand Hotel. Around 500 delegates are expected to travel to Limerick City for this special occasion. 

The competition was officially launched on 11 June at King John’s Castle, Limerick. Organised by peacebuilding charity Co-operation Ireland and sponsored by IPB Insurance, the IPB Pride of Place Awards recognise and celebrate the very best in community development across the island of Ireland.

Now in its 23rd year, the IPB Pride of Place Awards honour the selfless efforts of people who make their local neighbourhoods better places to live, work, and socialise.

Throughout the summer, the judges were deeply impressed by the passion, creativity, and commitment shown by community groups of all sizes – from villages and housing estates to towns and cities – each demonstrating pride, resilience, and an unwavering sense of community spirit.
