Tipperary Together -The Power of extraordinary community response

Tipperary together - The Power of extraordinary community response

Since the Covid pandemic has gripped our lives there has been an overwhelming response from the community and voluntary sector. There have been so many powerful acts of kindness. Tipperary Volunteer Centre, Tipperary County Council and Tipperary PPN wish to acknowledge and celebrate the fantastic work being carried out in our communities across Tipperary since the Covid pandemic last March 2020. We have seen a united approach of service providers i.e. Community Call Forum coming together to support the people of Tipperary.

We plan to celebrate this work by compiling a story book of what has been happening. We also hope to put together some video clips.

This is your chance to showcase your community, so please share your experience with us and we will promote your communities work

What we need from you:

• Your story in short bullet points - this can be Individual stories from volunteers, groups or a service
• We are also asking that people share random acts of kindness that you as an individual have received since the Covid pandemic
• Good quality pictures of work or initiatives that relate to Covid pandemic
• If you are able take a video of the work or a recording of what you or your community was involved in, please send that material to us
