Last week, our CEO Avril Ryan spoke at the Gaisce Gold Award Ceremony, where she shared her admiration for the incredible achievements of this year’s Awardees. 👏

In her speech, she reminded everyone: “Your Gold Award is a symbol of what you’re capable of. It represents not only your ability to achieve but also your power to make a difference in the lives of others.” 

She encouraged Awardees to reflect on their impact, asking: “How can I contribute to a better, fairer world?”

Through their persistence, creativity, and dedication, Gold Awardees have already made a difference, from community projects to promoting wellbeing, tackling climate justice, and supporting local initiatives. Their Gaisce journeys have been filled with moments of joy, resilience, and growth, which will guide them in their future. 💛

A special thanks to @presidentirl and Sabina Higgins for hosting this celebration at Áras an Uachtaráin, and to everyone who supported the Awardees on their Gaisce journeys. 😄
