CBA: Best Voluntary/Community Group

Step 1 of 3

Clare Business Excellence Awards 2021

Best Voluntary/Community Group

Sponsored by St. Francis Credit Union
Entry Criteria
The Best Voluntary/Community Group award is FREE to enter and carries a cash prize of €500 to the winner.
The purpose of this award is to acknowledge groups, powered by volunteers, who have played a significant role in enhancing the quality of life in their local community.
Judging is via written submission – a short case study will suffice. The judges simply want to hear what your group did over the past year that made your contribution to your local community special.
We want to hear from you if:
- You represent a sports club or local voluntary group quick off the blocks to provide practical supports to isolated or vulnerable people living in our community during those early days of Covid
- You are part of a long-standing community group such as Tidy Towns, and your group remained active throughout the Pandemic
- You kept your local volunteer-led festival alive by taking it online
- Your group launched a new community/voluntary initiative in the past year
The judges’ decision will be final, and no correspondence will be entered into before or after judging. Once a company is announced as finalist, it cannot withdraw from the competition.
