THE search is on for nominations for the Standout Social Enterprise Award in this year's Aisling Awards.
For 30 years the Aisling Awards have celebrated the very best of Belfast — the generosity, resilience and indomitable spirit that continue to define a city full of ambition and opportunity.
For three decades these awards have shone a spotlight on the community champions, innovators, businesses and bridge-builders whose dedication helps shape a better Belfast for all.
Now, as we mark this special milestone year, we invite you to be part of the celebration by nominating the neighbourhood heroes, inspiring leaders and outstanding achievers who deserve recognition at the 2026 Aisling Awards, taking place at the Europa Hotel on Friday, November 27.
We are seeking nominations for this year's Standout Social Enterprise Award – won last year by Tullymore Community Centre with Special Recognition for Oh Yeah Music Centre.
Clonard Credit Union are once again delighted to sponsor the Health and Wellbeing Award.
Terry McCrudden, CEO of Clonard Credit Union, said: “CCU is delighted to once again sponsor the Standout Social Enterprise of the Year Award at this year’s prestigious Aisling Awards.
"It is a real privilege for us to support an event that celebrates the people, organisations and businesses who make such a positive contribution to our community.
"Social enterprises play an incredibly important role in creating opportunity, strengthening communities and making a lasting difference to people’s lives. This award gives us an opportunity to recognise and celebrate those organisations whose commitment, innovation and social impact are helping to build a better future.
"At CCU, we are proud to be part of that community, and we look forward to celebrating all of this year’s nominees and winners at what promises to be another fantastic evening in the Europa Hotel”.
