The call for submissions to the 2025 National Age Friendly Recognition and Achievement awards is now live and the closing date is 30th May 2025.
Age Friendly Ireland is thrilled to announce that we are now open for applications to the National Age Friendly Recognition and Achievement Awards 2025. Each year a local authority hosts the awards event, and we are excited to reveal that Galway City Council and Galway County Council are jointly hosting this year’s event in The Galmont Hotel, Galway, on Thursday, October 23rd, 2025.
Again this year we have eight categories of awards, aligning to the WHO themes:
- Transport
- Active & Healthy Ageing
- Business Innovation
- Safety & Security
- Communications
- Environment
- Community Innovation
- Housing
We are seeking innovative projects from across this range of areas that have real impact on the lives of older people and have the potential to be showcased and replicated. We will be welcoming initiatives at both local and national level.
Shortlisted projects will be visited by the judging panel across the month of September and will be invited to Ireland’s Age Friendly Recognition and Achievements Awards ceremony in Galway in October.
