Over eight thousand people unemployed, industries shut down and many of its high-street shops boarded up - Drogheda had seen happier days. That was until, a few short months ago, its people decided they'd had enough and traders and townsfolk came together to create their own hope.
Working together with RTÉ Local Heroes and mentored by Feargal Quinn and his team of experts, Drogheda's citizens have united to jump-start their local economy and create jobs. And in the RTÉ TV series 'Local Heroes - A Town Fights Back' you can see what's possible when a community comes together with a common purpose.
Let Drogheda’s imaginative solutions to tackle unemployment, guided by experts, ignite the spark in your town. Every community needs its Local Heroes.
