We would like express a huge Congratulations to Elsie Higgins on receiving a nomination and being shortlisted for Volunteer of the year at the Volunteer Ireland awards which was held yesterday, 8th of December in the Carlton Hotel Blanchardstown, Dublin.

Elsie has been a dedicated committee member and volunteer for Westport Tidy Towns, and Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind for many years and always puts a trojan effort and creativity into every single task and project she has managed or collaborated on throughout those years.
We're sure there isn't a person in Westport that hasn't witnessed Elsie's hard work or artistic flare around the town and community in some shape of form as her talents have touched every corner of the town and beyond.
Thank you Elsie👏👏👏
