The project is nominated in the Age Friendly Housing category. It has been praised for creating a community where older people can feel safe, valued, and connected to others. These annual awards are run by Age Friendly Ireland, and they celebrate projects that improve life for older people across the country. Now in their ninth year, the awards honour people and organisations making a real difference in local towns, cities, and rural areas.
