GET INVOLVED IN NATIONAL COMPETITION THAT WILL ENRICH YOUR COMMUNITY
Get Involved is back! Get Involved 2014 saw communities all over Ireland partner with their local newspapers to bring about positive change in their area. People formed groups and undertook a wide range of meaningful sustainable projects. The winning projects shared a prize fund of €7,000, created sustainable employment whilst also enhancing their communities.
Due to the success of Get Involved 2014, this year, local newspapers from all over Ireland have been joined again by the Sustainable Energy Association of Ireland (SEAI) as main sponsors of the 2015 Get Involved competition. In addition, Clann Credo, the social investment fund is also supporting this worthy initiative and will sponsor a new category, the Community Impact Prize.
