CycleUp Textiles wins RDS spring Award for Rural Social Impact
MAY 2024
Delighted to Announce that Roscommon Women's Network - RWN CycleUp has won the Sustainable Rural Social Impact Award at the #RDSSpringAwards! Huge congratulations to all the CycleUp Team, Volunteers, RWN Staff and RWN Charity Shop. Well done Jennifer and Maria for a terrific application. We are honoured with this national accolade from the Royal Dublin Society
It was our privilege to be able to attend the awards ceremony alongside so many other wonderful rural businesses. To have been chosen as winners in our category for Rural Social Impact and to be recognised for the work we do with women living in rural areas and for the environmental impact of saving textile waste from landfill means so much to every person that has been involved from the original idea born from the RWN Charity shop to where CycleUp is today. Thank you everyone for your support and here is to many more years of progress.
