Do you have an active community group? Are you proud of your local neighbourhood?

Is there a thriving community spirit where you live? Does your community come together to improve their local environment?

Would you like to win £1,000 to make a difference in your community?

If you have answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions the NIHE would like to hear from you.

In order to help and support local communities in their efforts to make their local neighbourhoods a better place to live, the NIHE have initiated a prize fund of £4,000 – four prizes of £1,000.

There are two awards: The Cleaner and Greener Award and The Community Spirit Award

Within each category there are two prizes, one for villages with population of less than 1,000 and one for populations of 1,000 – 4,500. The competition is open to all rural neighbourhoods, not only Housing Executive estates.

To find out further information, please contact Eoin McKinney, NIHE Rural Unit [email protected] tel. (028) 9031 8524.

All applications must be returned to our Rural Unit by Friday, June 6 at 4pm.
