A team of innovative pupils from Abbey Vocational School scooped a top prize at the Young Social Innovators of the Year Awards this week.

The YSI awards celebrate excellence in youth-led social innovation.

The Strong and Caring Communities Challenge Award, in partnership with Aviva Ireland, was won by Abbey Vocational School, Donegal town, Co. Donegal for a project titled ‘The Greenest Link’. It aims to combat the issue of a lack of public transport facilities in Donegal by proposed improvements to the promotion of the Local Link facilities on offer in the county. In March, the students were awarded funding to produce leaflets on the Local Link for older people in their community.

Students from Rosses Community School, Dungloe, Co Donegal, also won the Silver title at the Young Social Innovators of the Year Awards on Tuesday (read more here).

Now in their twenty-second year, this year’s national finals event was the first live, in-person Young Social Innovators of the Year Awards since 2019. The awards ceremony was held in Croke Park and co-presented by broadcaster Zara King and former Hometown boyband member Dayl Cronin, in front of an audience of around 600 young people from secondary schools the length and breadth of the country.
