32 organisations have also been shortlisted from the Republic of Ireland.

Maire Campbell, Public Affairs and Communications Director, Coca-Cola HBC Ireland, said: "The response to the Coca-Cola Thank You Fund has been remarkable and we have received many fantastic entries which showcase the inspirational work that takes place in communities.
"It is our hope that the funding will be used on projects that will have a long-term and sustainable benefit. We know from experience that when organisations receive even a little support they can do amazing things. We are very excited about the potential projects in the shortlist."
Voting closes on September 30.
