Tournore Court Residents Association Pride of Place Judging 2025
Tournore Court Residents Association Welcomes Pride of Place Adjudicators Following Prestigious Community Award Win
Waterford City & County Council was proud to host Tom & Alison Dowling, adjudicators for the 2025 Pride of Place Awards at Tournore Court, Dungarvan, where the Tournore Court Residents Association showcased their outstanding community initiatives.
The visit follows the Association’s recent triumph at the 20th Annual Waterford PPN Community & Voluntary Awards, where they were honoured with the Overall Award at a gala ceremony held in The Park Hotel, Dungarvan last November and the subsequent proud nomination by Waterford City & County Council to represent Waterford at the all island Pride of Place Awards.
During the adjudicators’ visit, members of the Residents Association highlighted a range of innovative and impactful projects, including the Beach Toy Library, Adopt a Verge Programme, Scare and Rewear Costume Swap Shop and the Party Kit initiative. These efforts reflect the group’s commitment to environmental stewardship, social inclusion, and fostering strong neighbourly connections.
The adjudicators were impressed with their visit and particularly enjoyed afternoon tea along with the residents who provided scrumptious sandwiches and home baking in the basking sunshine as the local children played around the green.
The Pride of Place Awards will be held in Limerick later this year and will celebrate excellence in community participation across the island of Ireland. Waterford City & County Council is proud to support Tournore Court Residents Association as they continue to lead by example with tremendous community spirit and initiative and wishes them the best of luck.
