The Power of Place and People Project is Starting Soon in County Tipperary!
We, here at Tipperary PPN, are really excited about a new community mapping project, in partnership with Tipperary County Council, happening in our county later in May and on, into the rest of 2025.
The aim of ‘The Power of Place and People’ project is to begin recording details of County Tipperary’s many great groups, organisations and services. This information will then be stored safely in one digital place as a community mapping system.
There are dedicated workers employed for ‘The Power of Place & People’ project to visit you to collect the day-to-day data about your group.
The project staff will contact groups, like your own one, starting in the Carrick-on-Suir municipal district, but extending the visits to all of the other four municipal districts, covering the whole of County Tipperary.
The worker will look at suitable dates with you to agree when you can meet up with them. To learn as much as possible about your group’s work, facilities, meeting times etc., it would be good if you and, also, other members of your community group could be there for the survey to be fully completed on the day. They will also ask if they can take photos of your facilities, where appropriate.
This project will support us to progress our work, here in Tipperary PPN and in the county council in a few ways, including understanding the needs of our registered groups in how to grow and develop, whether funding or training or something else altogether, and to really see what is happening on the ground in our communities.
Please contact me, Ruth Smith by email: coordinator@ppntipperary.ie or call 087 456 7111 for further details or if you have any queries or ideas on the project.
