Have a little Donegal Pride
15.02.08
INISHOWEN community
groups are being urged to put themselves forward for
this year's Donegal Pride of Place competition.
Last year Cashel na Cor, a centre for people with
disabilities in Buncrana was a county award winner
and was among five groups to go on to represent
Donegal in the national heats. |

"If community groups
are currently involved in any activity, which gives
people a reason to be proud of their local area, the
advice is to get involved now. Please encourage
community groups in your area to participate in this
rewarding competition," said a spokesperson. |
Pride of Place is a
competition directed towards recognising
improvements by local communities to create civic
pride in their area. The focus is on people, coming
together to shape, change and enjoy all that is good
about their local area.
"Too often, the tremendous time and effort that
people put into community activities on a purely
voluntary basis is overlooked. This competition is
unique in that it recognises and rewards people for
their vital contribution to their local community,"
added the spokeperson.
