SIA are happy to give back to the local community by supporting the Tidy Towns Committee. There has been a Tidy Town group in Carn almost for over fifty years ago. The current group was formed in 1998 when a handful of interested individuals met in and set up the Carndonagh Tidy Town Association. Clean-ups were organised and carried out on a regular basis. Much good work was done.
