​What are the People of the Year Awards?


These Awards recognise and celebrate the voluntary work that individuals, groups, organisations & schools contribute to their community and are one of the many projects being carried out by the Town Team under the umbrella of Ballinasloe Area Community Development Ltd (BACD). The town team is a voluntary group striving to carry out both short term and long term actions to ultimately improve & revitalize Ballinasloe and its hinterland.

The aim of these awards which took place on the 12th November was to acknowledge the tremendous amount of voluntary work carried out in Ballinasloe which forms the backbone of our community. Many voluntary groups and individuals make invaluable contributions to our community.  Our wish is that such people are formally recognised so that we can publicly acknowledge their efforts and achievements.  It is also our wish to honour very special and talented individuals or groups who have achieved excellence and represented our community nationally or internationally.

Thank you to our Main Sponsor Ballinasloe Credit Union. The event was also  supported by the KPW Design, Shearwater Hotel and the Town Team.
