The Limerick Going for Gold Campaign is underway. Communities and other groups are playing their part in making Limerick a better place to live work and visit. Going for Gold aims to raise awareness of environmental issues, get people involved in their own areas, make a physical difference in communities and encourages people to have fun while volunteering!
Mayor Cllr Kathleen Leddin
"I would encourage as many people as possible to get out there, get involved and lets make Limerick a cleaner and greener place to live. Enter the Going for Gold Community Challenge Category, nominate someone for an Individual Merit Award. or enter the Garden Competition. Support your area if they are in the Tidy Towns Category".
Mr. Gerry Boland, on behalf of the J.P. McManus Charitable Foundation
"Going for Gold is a simple but powerful idea where people can volunteer and make a difference to their own area and make it a better place to live." he said. "The JP McManus Charitable Foundation is delighted to provide local communities here in Limerick city with an incentive to get together, improve their own areas and enjoy and reap the benefits that participation can bring."
