Last night, our organisation was named Overall Winners at the 2025 Kerry Community Awards, and to add to the excitement, we were also honoured with a Gold Award!

Being recognised alongside so many remarkable organisations across Kerry is a privilege we will always treasure. This award is not just a reflection of our work, but of the countless hands and hearts that make it possible: our volunteers, our supporters, and the wider community who walk this journey with us.

From Sinéad, Zara, Brian, and our Board of Management, we extend our heartfelt thanks to Kerry PPN, Kerry County Council, The Kerryman, NEWKD, Údarás na Gaeltachta, Credit Union, and Southern Marketing Design Media for creating such a beautiful celebration of community spirit.

We would also like to give a special mention to the incredible team at The Rose Hotel, Tralee for their wonderful hospitality and tireless work last night.

And to our fellow finalists, it was a joy to celebrate together and we are so proud to stand beside you in showcasing the best of Kerry’s community spirit.

Winning this award is a moment to celebrate, but it is also a reminder of the ongoing work and commitment that keeps our community thriving.
