Best Community Campaign: Helen Nolan

Congratulations to Donegal-based Helen Nolan, winner of the Best Community Campaign at the Full Circle Awards.

Taking a prize of €2,000 at the launch of Circular.ie, Helen was commended by the judges for her work through Spraoi agus Sport, which is at the “heart of the community”. 

“The Spraoi agus Sport website is a fantastic resource for the community, pointing to a wide range of opportunities for people from all ages and backgrounds to engage with reuse, repair, and sustainability under the banner of Spraoi,” said our judges. 

“Her work reaches far into the community through volunteers and affordable and inclusive activities with children and families.”

The Full Circle Awards is a new initiative designed by Circular.ie to honour and celebrate the incredible efforts of everyday people who are driving positive change through circular living.

We invited people across the country for nominations to our Full Circle Awards — ordinary individuals making an extraordinary impact by promoting reuse, repair, recycling, and sustainable living in their communities. 

With €2,000 available for winners of our six categories, along with personalised expert mentoring to help amplify their circular initiatives, the Full Circle Awards highlight the creativity, commitment, and drive among circular champions across Ireland.
