Last chance to nominate local community heroes

With less than one week remaining, insurance company AXA is calling on the people of Westmeath to submit nominations for the Community Hero Awards before the deadline for entries at 4pm on Monday, January 5.

This initiative celebrates individuals who have made a significant impact in their communities, while supporting vital causes across Ireland.

Members of the local public are invited to nominate someone who has shown exceptional leadership, innovation, or creativity in helping others.

The four award categories for which nominations can be submitted are road safety, mental health, women’s safety and wellbeing and sustainability.

Nominations should be submitted online at www.axa.ie in 150 words or less, explaining how the nominee has positively impacted their community in one of the four categories.

Elizabeth Arnett, Chief Communications, Brand & Sustainability Officer at AXA Ireland says: “We’ve received fantastic nominations from across the country, however we know there are unsung heroes working tirelessly in Road Safety, Mental Health, Women’s Safety & Wellbeing, and Sustainability that we have not heard from yet. With just days left, we’re encouraging everyone to nominate these remarkable individuals. We’re also encouraging people to let their chosen nominees know when their name has been put forward and show them their hard work is appreciated.”
