The National Lottery’s Good Causes Awards Finalists have been announced. The awards are designed to celebrate and honour the inspirational work carried out by hundreds of volunteers, coaches, care givers and other individuals across Ireland, and the organisations they represent. In total the National Lottery Good Causes Awards boasts a total prize fund of €95,000.
This year there were 36 finalists across the categories of Health & Wellness, Sport, Arts & Culture, Heritage, Community and Youth (as well as a special category for Irish Language Projects). The finalists included Cii members LauraLynn Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, Focus Ireland, and BeLonG To Youth Services. Each of the seven category winners receive €10,000 with the overall Good Cause of the Year winning an additional €25,000. The judging of the National Finals of the Good Causes Awards will take place virtually on Tuesday 16 and Wednesday 17 of February with the winners being announced on Saturday, May 29 at the Mansion House (government guidelines permitting).
Nearly 30 cent in every €1 spent on all National Lottery games goes back to Good Causes.
