Mayor, Freda Donnelly, will host this years Mayor’s Awards ceremony on Wednesday 7th March in Armagh City Hotel, where the winners will be announced.
Mayor Donnelly said “I hope people from all walks of life and backgrounds would get involved this year: “Over the past eight months as Mayor of Armagh City and District, I’ve had the privilege of meeting hundreds of local people. The one thing I’ve been consistently impressed with is the sheer number of people who give their own time and energy to help others without seeking any real reward. The Mayor’s Awards are all about giving these individuals the credit they deserve and celebrating the work they do. If there’s someone you know who has supported community activities, created job opportunities or promoted environmental, educational, sporting or cultural projects in your community please put their names forward for the Mayor’s Awards.”

He was the founding and innovative Chairman for Markethill District Enterprise for more 23 years. He has been the Chairman of the Board of Governors for Markethill Primary and High School for over 20 years.
