Going for Gold

Limerick is ‘going for gold’ as Ireland’s cleanest city with the announcement of a major campaign to encourage businesses, community groups and individuals to improve their areas in a bid to make the city litter free. Limerick City Council in association with the JP McManus Charitable Foundation is asking you to play your part by announcing that €50,000 will be provided to help communities go the extra mile with the launch of the Going for Gold campaign.

Going for Gold will consist of three separate categories including

1. City Centre Businesses,
2. Tidy Towns 2012 Entrants and
3. Environmental Grant recipients/Individuals. 

All will be eligible to compete for the €50,000 Going for Gold prize pool to spend on improvements in their local areas.

The Going for Gold campaign begins now.  We need to get Limerick looking good for the Tidy Towns judging during June and July.   Register your interest on our facebook page www.facebook.com/limerickgoingforgold or email limerickgoingforgold@limerickcity.ie or call 061-407225.  Additional details are available on www.limerick.ie/goingforgold.    Participating communities will be interviewed on Limerick’s Live 95FM over the summer months and will also be featured in the Limerick Leader newspapers. The Limerick Post newspaper is also supporting the initiative.
