DLDC is hosting a Community Recognition Awards ceremony to acknowledge and reward the work of the community and voluntary sector.
The Community & Voluntary sector really came to the fore throughout the COVID 19 Pandemic and we want to take the time now to recognise and reward their valiant efforts. The ‘Community Recognition Awards’ will take place in the Finn Valley Centre, Stranorlar at 7pm on Thursday 4th November where finalists will enjoy a meal, followed by the presentation of awards, music & dancing.
