Cobh and East Cork Groups head to Pride in our Community Awards

All the groups that participated in this year’s Pride in Our Community Competition from East Cork will converge from all corners of the area to attend the Awards in Oriel House Ballincollig next Wednesday night. The judging team were very impressed this year with the high standard of the projects from the Cobh and East Cork Area that were involved and found it very difficult to choose winners in each category.
Entries from Cobh and East Cork include groups from Ballincurrig, Ladysbridge, Cloyne, Killeagh Inch, Knockraha, Rostellan  Saleen, Ballymore, Carrigtwohill, Glounthaune, Riverstown, Sallybrook

 The competition recognises and rewards community groups who develop new or existing locally-based Amenity/ Projects which are of long-term benefit to the local community’. The competition also seeks to make local people conscious of their local environment and promotes litter free communities. The competition is open to all voluntary groups in County Cork.  These projects highlight the important link between our surroundings and our quality of life. It is no co-incidence that people travel the length and breadth of the county, visiting beauty spots – beautiful scenery which lifts their spirits and hearts.
