Celebrating Good Relations Across Northern Ireland

Since 2006, the Community Relations Council’s  Good Relations Awards has highlighted exceptional achievement in promoting good community relations, intercultural work and peacebuilding in Northern Ireland.

Previous Award winners have come from all parts of the region and worked in a wide variety of settings including women and peacebuilding, faith-based work, youth work, community development, cross community work at interfaces, and ethical remembering/commemorative work in a history of conflict.

For the 2027 Good Relations Awards, the Community Relations Council will be working in partnership with The Executive Office, NICVA, NI Youth Forum, Volunteer Now, The Community Foundation for Northern Ireland, NI Housing Executive, Sported and Education Authority. There are eight award categories. We would particularly welcome nominations from the T:BUC family of programmes.
