“The competition is about showing respect and inclusion for every sector in our communities, young, old, rich or poor and creating communities to which the people are proud to say they belong.” Tom Dowling, Chairman and Founder of the Pride of Place

Upon judging, which took place on the 23rd of June, St. Munchin’s received some amazing feedback.

The Judges learned about the aims of the centre. The centre provides a central hub accommodating local service providers, they provide a meeting place for local voluntary groups and they help address and overcome social isolation and exclusion. On top of this St Munchin’s Community Centre identifies and responds to the local needs of its community.

All of the board of management are voluntary. They met and spoke with the judges and discussed how they regularly meet to ensure ongoing projects are carried out and all the local needs are being addressed.
