We’re in the last stretch for nominations for AXA community heroes.

There’s a prize fund worth €80,000 to recognise four people who go the extra mile in their own areas, each getting €20,000 for their chosen charity.

There are four categories of Road Safety, Mental Health, Women’s Safety & Wellbeing, and Sustainability for which nominations close at 4 o’clock on Monday (5th Jan).

Elizabeth Arnett, Chief Communications, Brand & Sustainability Officer at AXA Ireland says: “We’ve received fantastic nominations from across the country, however we know there are unsung heroes working tirelessly in Road Safety, Mental Health, Women’s Safety & Wellbeing, and Sustainability that we have not heard from yet. With just days left, we’re encouraging everyone to nominate these remarkable individuals. We’re also encouraging people to let their chosen nominees know when their name has been put forward and show them their hard work is appreciated.”

Mick Comerford, Direct Retail Director at AXA Ireland, says now is a great time to consider a nomination: “This time of year is a brilliant opportunity to recognise our AXA Community Heroes for two reasons. Firstly, we see so many people making an extra special effort to help at Christmas time—a nomination is your chance to show you appreciate them. Secondly, this season offers a moment to reflect on anyone who has helped us. The nomination process is available on axa.ie however, don’t forget that our staff at AXA branches are happy to answer any questions people might have about the process.”
