We’re delighted to spotlight Richie Fagan, who has been shortlisted for the Volunteer of the Year award at this year’s The GALAS 2025 — the annual awards ceremony organised by Gay Community News (GCN) and the National LGBTQ+ Federation (NXF) that honours outstanding contributions in Ireland’s LGBTQ+ community.
Richie’s nomination is a cause for celebrating — not just his personal journey, but also the strength and diversity of volunteerism in the LGBTQ+ community in Ireland. As the GALAS ceremony unfolded, each nominee’s story helped shine a light on the many ways people are making Ireland more inclusive and welcoming.
Congratulations to Richie Fagan on this achievement.
