YOUNG PERSON OF THE YEAR AWARD 2023

Cashel Lions Club is currently inviting nominations for the Cashel Lions Club Young Person of the Year Award 2023. The Cashel Lions Club Young Person of the Year is an annual event which recognises and acknowledges the voluntary community involvement of young people in their local community. Cashel Lions club views the Young Person of the Year Competition as a way of nurturing a spirit of volunteerism in our young people and of rewarding and supporting youth activity in our community. Local schools, clubs, organisations and indeed individuals are encouraged to nominate young people who are making a contribution to the overall quality of life in their local community. Candidates must be at least fifteen and not more than eighteen years of age on June 30th, 2024. The future of volunteering in local communities depends on the current diminishing numbers of volunteers promoting and encouraging voluntary community involvement in our young people. Cashel Lions Club is therefore appealing to community groups and individuals not just in Cashel and Rosegreen but also in the neighbouring communities in Golden, Knockavilla, Clonoulty, Boherlahan, Dualla, and New Inn to nominate a young person who is displaying leadership qualities for the Cashel Lions Club Young Person of the Year Award 2023.

So look to the future and get your thinking caps on and enhance the future of your local community by ensuring that your community, club, organisation or school has a nominee in the Cashel Lions Club Young Person of the Year 2023.Application forms and further details are available by emailing [email protected] or by contacting Eddie Morrissey or any member of Cashel Lions Club. Completed application forms must be returned on or before Friday October 27th.
