Youth charity scoops two prestigious awards

A Donegal-founded youth organisation has scooped two prestigious national awards.

SpunOut.ie was established in Ballyshannon in 2004 by Keith Corcoran of Laghey, Anna Lally of Rossnowlagh and Ruairí Keenghan McKiernan from Ballyshannon.

The charity has been awarded the Junior Chambers International National Award for Social Entrepreneurship.

This award recognises young leaders from throughout Ireland.

The SpunOut.ie team have also picked up a prestigious Net Visionary Award, winning the ‘Social Contribution’ category at the 2009 awards ceremony in Dublin.

SpunOut.ie Editor Anna Lally has extended her thanks to everyone from Donegal and across the country who have helped the organisation in their work in securing the national honours.
