Richie Fagan nominated in the 2025 GCN GALAS

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.
