Achill Covid Community Response Team scoop award

THE community response in Achill to the Covid crisis has been recognised with another award.

Achill Tourism, who brought together the Achill Community Response Team in response to the pandemic, have received the Covid Comms Award 2021 for Best Community Initiative.

They were in the same category as big names such as AIB, Penney’s and University College Cork.

Achill Tourism swung into action, uniting all in the community in a massive voluntary effort to ensure the island's elderly and most vulnerable were looked after as the pandemic unfolded.

And they have paid tribute to that army of faithful volunteers who helped and worked so hard over the last year to help support those in need of assistance in the community.

This is the second award the Achill Community Covid Response Team have picked up for their trojan work having already been awarded a prestigious Volunteer Ireland Award.
