\u201cThe Federation of Irish Sport is once again delighted to host these awards with the support of the National Network of 29 Local Sports Partnerships. The awards recognise dedicated club members and celebrate the impact they\u2019re having not just to their sports club but to the wider community. Recognising our volunteers in sport is hugely important and acknowledging them in this way serves as an important reminder of the significant economic and social value of volunteering in Ireland. We want to ensure that volunteers in sport know their dedication doesn\u2019t go unnoticed and inspire more volunteers in sport.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/span><\/blockquote>Mary O\u2019Connor<\/strong>, <\/span>Federation of Irish Sport CEO<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>The 2023 Volunteers in Sports Awards are more than just an event; they are a tribute to the unsung heroes who make sports happen in our communities.
