LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, is asking supporters to vote in the People’s Choice Award at the 2025 Charities Institute Ireland (Cii) Charity Excellence Awards 2025. This opportunity comes after LauraLynn was shortlisted as a finalist in two major categories: Excellence in Charity Leadership for LauraLynn CEO, Kerry McLaverty, and Fundraising Team of the Year for the LauraLynn fundraising team.
While most winners are chosen by a judging panel, the People’s Choice Award is decided entirely by public vote. Voting is now open.
“We are absolutely delighted and honoured to be recognised by Charities Institute Ireland in two significant categories," said Kerry McLaverty, CEO of LauraLynn. "These nominations are a wonderful testament to the passion and dedication of our entire team. It’s a reflection of our collective effort to provide the very best care for children and families on the toughest of journeys. The People's Choice Award is a lovely addition, and we would be so appreciative of anyone who takes a moment to support us.”
How to Vote for LauraLynn:
Voting is simple and takes just a moment. You can cast your vote via the official Cii website. Plus, every vote submitted goes into a draw to win an Amazon Echo Dot! Voting is open until 26th September. The winners will be announced at the Charity Excellence Awards Gala Dinner in the Mansion House, Dublin, on 2nd October 2025.
LauraLynn was also nominated for the Charity Excellence Award in the employer excellence category in 2024 and in the Fundraising Team of the Year and Excellence in Charity Leadership category in 2023.
