Hard to believe this was almost a year ago 🙏 Thanks to @socentni and @CEFNI1 for the acknowledgement! 🏆 @ClaireMSilver continues to support @MoneydarraghHub and work on creative community projects.
Thank you to our sponsors! 🙌✨
@CEFNI1 sponsored last year's event and presented the Young Person of the Year award, which was won by Claire Mooney from @MoneydarraghHub, with Robert Campbell from @AspireMediaNI as the runner-up.
We're delighted to have CEF as sponsors again!

The person in the centre, dressed in a black sequinned dress, holds a winner's plaque and a trophy. They are flanked by two men in black suits, both smiling. The backdrop behind them highlights the event's sponsors, including Ulster Bank and AtkinsRéalis, with the event hashtag #SocEntNIAwards23 visible at the top right.

Big thank you to all the people who attended our events and especially to LFT Charitable Trust, whose LEAP programme funded the festival and gave us the opportunity to put on these great events!

Great to get to know this bunch of young people! ❄️ Looking forward to 2024!
We’ve had a great time so far on our Making Mourne Youth Programme! Last Saturday saw the group wrap up for Christmas by printing their own t-shirts, making melted snowmen biscuits, while watching Home Alone with a nice carry-out from The Galley! 👕⛄🏠🍗

Ending #InternationalMountainDay with a rainbow.
There's nothing quite like the view from a mountain.
Beauty aside, The Mournes provide a home to the Irish hare, red grouse and peregrine falcons. On a winter's day you may even be lucky enough to spot a beautiful snow bunting.
Thank you to everyone tonight at the Social Enterprise Awards 🌟 Still can't quite believe the result of this one! Thank you very much @socentni and @cefni 🙏
🏆 Young Person of the Year Award sponsored by @CEFNI 🏆
