Sustainable Ireland is a magazine circulated widely to professionals, businesses, public sector and others working towards a more sustainable Northern Ireland. For the last 6 years, the publishers have organised the Sustainable Ireland ‘Energy, Environmental and Waste Management’ awards, an annual awards scheme with 11 categories.

This year, Council partnered with Cloughmills Community Action Team to enter the ‘Incredible Edible Cloughmills’ project in the ‘Most Inspiring Environmental Project by Young People’ category.

At the recent awards ceremony the project won the award, receiving a cut glass trophy and a feature in the next edition of the Sustainable Ireland magazine and is a perfect example of partnership working.

The project has also enjoyed a lot of publicity over the summer months with features in the Irish News and Newsletter, along with a 4 minute slot on Good Morning Ulster (BBC Radio) and a 4 minute slot on The 7.30 Show, UTV.

During a recent Health and Environmental Services meeting, the Director of Borough Services gave a brief background into the project.
