For the second year running Navan County Councillor Alan Lawes is asking the public of Navan to help him donate his entire allocation of the 2021 Navan Municipal District County Council Discretionary Fund to 5 Registered Charities.
Voting Has Now Closed.
Voting took place between 9am, Saturday 1st May and closed 9pm, Sunday 16th May 2021.
Cllr Alan Lawes stated that he believes Taxpayer's money should not be given away at the whim of Councillors since it is undemocratic and could be misinterpreted as 'buying' votes. If the money was returned to the Council pot it would be a missed opportunity for the people of Navan. Therefore, the Navan public is being offered this opportunity to say where the money should be given and it will be repeated throughout his 5-year term in office.
In March 2020 the public voted for 22 nominated registered charities based in the Navan Municipal District and that Wilkinstown Community Centre, Meath River Rescue, and Ability Equine Assisted Therapy should each receive a once-only donation of €5,000 from the 2020 allocated fund.
In 2021 many charities are in immediate need of financial support due to the Covid-19 Health Emergency. Cllr Alan Lawes has therefore elected to divide this year's fund equally between 5 charities so that each will still receive a 'once only' worthwhile and meaningful amount.
You are now invited to cast your vote where the 5 organisations receiving the most votes will each receive €3,000.
