🌿 Celebrating Finglas Tidy Towns 🌿
A wonderful evening was held recently in the Mansion House, Dublin, to recognise and celebrate the volunteers and supporters of Finglas Tidy Towns. 💚
For more than eighteen years, this dedicated group has worked tirelessly to improve our village, earning many Pride of Place awards along the way. Much of this work is carried out quietly—often early in the morning—by a small and committed team, with larger groups lending a hand for particular projects.
One of their first priorities is often to ensure that the church grounds are clean, dignified and welcoming, especially when a funeral is taking place. Through cleaning, sweeping, removing glass and dangerous objects, planting and caring for public spaces, they help Finglas present the very best of itself. 🌸🧹
After a busy weekend, the village can sometimes be challenging—but in no time at all, these volunteers make it a pleasant and welcoming place for children walking to school, people attending the church, local residents and everyone entering or leaving Finglas.
The celebration in the Mansion House brought together businesses, individuals and community supporters to acknowledge this extraordinary contribution and lend their support to the work still ahead. 🤝
To all the Finglas Tidy Towns volunteers: **thank you**. Your energy, commitment and community spirit constantly amaze us. Our village is a much cleaner, safer and more beautiful place because of you. 👏💐
This eighteen-year project remains a work in progress, and new volunteers are always very welcome. If you can spare a little time, Finglas Tidy Towns would be delighted to have you join the team. Every helping hand makes a difference! 🙋♀️🙋♂️
