The six Limerick groups will now compete against more than 120 groups from around the country for a place in the National Finals with the judging phase taking place later month.
The six Limerick groups are: St Gabriel's Foundation (sport); Headway (community); The Irish Chamber Orchestra (arts and culture); Bat Rehabilitation (heritage); St Munchin's Community Centre (health & wllbeing) and Foroige (youth).
Announcing the Limerick winners, National Lottery CEO, Andrew Algeo, said: “Good Causes who support communities across Ireland are at the heart of the National Lottery’s purpose. As a result, we are delighted to celebrate each year the exceptional work being carried out by those groups, organisations and sports clubs nationwide. I am thrilled and not surprised to say that we have had another year of inspirational stories from the beneficiaries of National Lottery funding. These stories provide purpose to those of us who work in and with the National Lottery. It has never been easy to narrow down the list of hundreds of entries, however, it is a great pleasure to congratulate the Limerick County winners this year and to be able to show our appreciation for their commitment to communities around the country.”
The total prize fund for the Good Causes Awards, which will take place in October, €100,000.
