💙💛 Community Spirit: The Heart of Longford 💙💛

Longford is more than a place, it's a community. It's neighbours helping neighbours, local businesses supporting local causes and people coming together when it matters most. That's what makes Longford such a special place to call home!

For Cllr Kevin Hussey, it's the incredible community spirit that stands out above all else. From family-run businesses giving back to those in need to the countless volunteers, organisations and local businesses supporting community initiatives, Longford is built on kindness, generosity and looking out for one another. 🙌

Whether it's supporting local charities, sponsoring community groups or helping a neighbour through difficult times, there are countless stories across the county that remind us of the strength and compassion that exists in our communities every day. ❤️

Now it's your turn! We're inviting people across the county to get involved in the Love Life Love Longford campaign by sharing a short video about the place, person, community group or local area that makes you proud to call Longford home.

Let's celebrate the positive stories, the local heroes and the community spirit that makes Longford such a special place to live, work and belong! 💙💛

Record your video, share it on social media, tag Longford County Council and Longford Tourism, and use 📲

Love Life, Love Longford! 💙💛
