Claremorris Community Radio Volunteer Noírín Gannon nominated for "Charity Hero" Award.

Congratulations to Claremorris Community Radio volunteer Noírín Gannon who has been nominated for a "Charity Hero" Award!


Originally from Achill, Co. Mayo, two time cancer survivor Noirin has always, through many volunteer and fundraising projects, worked to promote a more just and fair society with community values at it's core. Organizing and supporting various events, Noirin has raised tens of thousands of euro for various causes, some of which are very close to her heart. From the elderly, homeless, cancer patients and young people, she has worked with some of the most vulnerable sections of society in her community development work.


Since joining Claremorris Community Radio 18 months ago, Noirin has presented a weekly bi-lingual show in which she promotes local charitable and community events. She has often shared her own story of her battles with cancer on air and has promoted many fundraising events throughout Mayo.

Claremorris Community Radio to host fund-raising 'Broadcastathon'

Volunteers to broadcast live for 48 hours continuously this August
Claremorris Community Radio volunteers will this month take part in a fund-raising broadcasting marathon to raise some much needed funds for the station. The station, which is owned and managed by the local community in and around Claremorris, will broadcast live for 48-hours continuously, starting on the 26th and finishing on the 28th August.
Listeners can not only tune into the event locally on 94.6fm but listeners around the world can also tune in online via the stations website.
On air since 2006, Claremorris Community Radio is a not-for-profit organization which is owned and managed by the local community and is one of 23 fully-licenced community stations around Ireland. The station aims to promote community development in all its aspects and the staff and volunteers of the station work hard to develop programmes and training that encourage disadvantaged groups to express their beliefs, values and needs for a better understanding within the community.


Programming on Claremorris Community Radio is made by volunteers by and for the community and the station also works with local schools, community groups and service providers to promote community development. In the past year, the station has provided training to over 100 people from the area and provides a valuable service to the community in the current economic climate.


The station relies on donations, fundraising and support from local businesses to support it's services and hopes that the community will support their local community station during this event by either donating online this August or sponsoring the volunteers taking part.


Local businesses have been very generous in supporting the station in the past and it is hoped that they will once again show their support by availing of the station's special advertising and sponsorship rates for the event.
More information about the event and about how you can support your local community station can be obtained by calling the station on 094 9373737 or by emailing manager@claremorriscommunityradio.ie.


Further information about the event will also be available on the stations website, www.claremorriscommunityradio.ie, over the coming weeks.
