The PRO of a number of charities and organisations in the Belgooly area is the latest monthly recipient of the Cork International Hotel Community Spirit Awards.
Nicola Desmond, who’s been working with Pfizer for the last 35 years, has been praised for her unwavering dedication to her local community and her tireless efforts in providing services for locals to enjoy.
Nicola has been a successful PRO for a number of organisations including the Belgooly Tidy Villages, Kinsale Garden and Flower Club and the Cork Summer Show.
She has been instrumental in the organising of fundraising activities for the restoration of the Friary Church in Kinsale as well as her involvement with their annual trip to Lourdes.
The Belgooly native is also responsible for the popular bingo events held in the locality for various different charities and she was recently involved in putting together the Belgooly Festival which brought a mix of entertainment to the area for families to enjoy.
Nicola has credited the network of people around her, including her family, with helping her to carry out all her volunteering work.
General Manager of the Cork International Hotel, Eoghan Murphy said: “Nicola has been immersed in the activities of her local community for years and never says no to helping any charity or organisation with their fundraising efforts. It is our great pleasure to honour her with a Community Spirit Award to recognise her dedication to her area and we believe she is a very worthy recipient of the latest monthly award.”
