Weekend Breakfast with Alison Curtis is on the hunt for Ireland's Soundest Town, with thanks to our generous friends at Cadbury.
Each month we will ask people around Ireland to tell us a little bit about why their hometown is the Soundest Town in Ireland.
And this month we are delighted to announce the first winner of Soundtown 2020 is Moville in Donegal!

Nominated by Michael Skelly after the town of Moville got behind Edel McBride's #PledgeScrubs campaign.
The #PledgeScrubs campaign aims to supply quality scrubs to Health Care Workers due to the shortage of PPE.
Moville town rallied together and raised over €50k in the 24 hours on Edel's Go Fund Me Page. The total money raised is now over €67,000!!
The local family owned shirt makers "Moville Clothing" transferred their skilled team from shirts to cotton-blend scrubs and are making these with all the money raised.
Lots of the local community work at Moville Clothing and they are hard at work making the PPE for our treasured front liners and they supply local hospitals and care facilities.
Every month one town will be chosen as that month’s Sound Town winner. They will be rewarded with a special plaque and a massive hamper of Cadbury goodies with each monthly finalist going on to win a chance of scooping a whopping €10,000 to spend on a community project of their choice.
