We are very proud of this award and offer our thanks to Southern, the Limerick Leader and the
Clayton Hotel Limerick. This award is a recognition of the very ambitious board who rescued the
community centre, reimagined the Well Meadow to create our beautiful Croom Town Park and
created the community space that is the Civic Centre. With great thanks to the team at CCDA and our
partners Croom CE Scheme. None of this would be possible with the support of the community
attending events, taking part, making a donation, buying cards, playing bingo, taking the kids to a
sports event in the community hall or bringing a birthday party to one of the locations. Thank you all,
this is an award for Croom
