Following a nationwide search, Theresa Finn from Killucan is celebrating after being named an Inspirational Hero in the Gala Retail and Virgin Media Inspiration Awards.

The awards shine a light on the individuals who make Ireland a better place with their selfless acts and inspirational deeds, and Theresa stood out for her dedication to help run a 100pc volunteer charity called Airc Midlands to help families that have children with disabilities.

She actively raises awareness, arranges inclusive activities and even in lockdown arranged more than 300 care packages to support the families.
