As a physical event was not possible this year each awardee received a special surprise delivery from Volunteer Ireland announcing their win. It included an engraved trophy, a framed message from President Higgins, complimentary tickets to EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum and of course, a hamper of goodies to celebrate with.

All 805 volunteers nominated in this year’s awards also received a special thank you card from Volunteer Ireland earlier this month.
