The campaign to reconnect people and food, started in Cloughmills and operating for the last 8 months, is in the running for an award as part of the Impact 2010 scheme.  This is administered by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency and a group of young people from Cloughmills have made it through to the grand final in the Waterfront Hall.  These young people aged 12-17 are inspirational, working in the main growing area and assisting with the ‘doorstep allotments’ a growing basket of food delivered to almost 40 elderly residents in the village.

As well as their category, people in the area have an opportunity to vote for Cloughmills in ‘THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE AWARD’ where votes count!  You can help by ‘CLICKING FOR CLOUGHMILLS’
