In conjunction with the Board of Irish College Societies (BICS) we are delighted to announce the Best Mental Health Society Award 2016.
Higher education is more than coursework and lectures it has the potential to offer so much more to students and societies play a huge role. We all have Mental Health therefore it is EVERYONE’s concern, building on this foundation we are delighted to sponsor this award and get all societies involved in playing their part to ensuring their members are looking after their mental health and wellbeing during college.
The National Awards ceremony are on the 14th April in the Radisson Blu Hotel, Limerick. The purpose of the National Awards is to recognise the huge effort made by the many individuals who run student societies across Ireland. The National Awards are a means of recognising this dedication and are an opportunity to celebrate the importance and value that societies contribute to college life.
