GALA Retail has teamed up with Virgin Media to search for inspirational heroes in Kerry, those individuals who have made Ireland a better place with their selfless acts and inspirational deeds during the Covid-19 crisis.
Searching for 26 inspirational county heroes, the Inspiration Awards are open to people of all ages and will celebrate those who have supported and gone above and beyond for others in their local community.
The 2020 Gala Retail Inspiration Awards mark the second year of the event.
