Good Relations Awardnominations sought

After an exceptionally challenging year for everyone, there has never been a better time to recognise the achievements and impact people working in Good Relations have made in local communities.

Martin McDonald, CRC Chair, said: “Good Relations Work has continued during these difficult times and is proving to be as solid and reliable as the foundation it was built on, strengthening existing relationships and building new ones in this time of crisis. In CRC we praise the people and groups who are finding new ways to sustain human connections and share positive good news stories of the work being delivered.”

Nominating someone for the Good Relations Award 2021 is an ideal opportunity to shine a light on the efforts and hard work that have helped us during the pandemic. Martin said: “Last year’s response was amazing. We had the highest number of nominations since CRC started the awards in 2006. The Award is intended to help recognise and highlight the excellent, ground breaking and courageous peacebuilding work.”

Previous Award winners have come from all parts of the region and worked in a wide variety of settings including women and peacebuilding, youth work, community development, cross community work at interfaces and ethical remembering/commemorative work in a history of conflict. Nominations will close on January 29 at 12 noon. You can get a nomination form by emailing [email protected] or calling 028 9022 7500.
