PPN News
Dear PPN Member, Staff changes have occurred in our County Tipperary PPN that we thought you would want to know about if you haven’t already heard! Avril Wilson, the previous Tipperary PPN coordinator, has not only left us for new horizons after four energetic and hardworking years, but she has also left her mark on the PPN and will be missed for sure. Thanks for all you did for the organisation, Avril, and we all wish you well in your new career. Sharon Melbourne, our admin support worker, ably held the fort, until the Secretariat had recruited to replace Avril. Sharon deserves huge sincere thanks for that, as Ruth Smith, the new coordinator, could not have picked up the reins without her running the busy PPN show so well in the interim time. So, moving forward, Ruth Smith is now the County Tipperary PPN coordinator and here’s some background information on her… Formerly the community development coordinator at Knockanrawley Resource Centre, based in Tipperary Town, Ruth has been a community worker for 26 years, 22 of those years were with the resource centre itself. Before working in Tipperary Town, Ruth also worked in Cashel setting up and running women’s and parents’ groups for 4 years. Through this work, Ruth got to know west Tipperary quite extensively and has a lot of experience working with a wide range of community groups and agencies. She is a group facilitator by trade and really enjoys working with groups to identify specific needs and then work on addressing those needs or gaps. Ruth acknowledges, though, that the huge number of groups (1300!) affiliated to the PPN means that she will work on a different level with them to what she has been used to before. “Now that the county Covid-19 travel restrictions seem to have been lifted, I’m really excited to start getting to know more of this wonderful county and meet some of the PPN member groups. I am in the Thurles office Tuesday-Thursday weekly so please pop in and say hello. My plan is to carry on the good work already achieved by the PPN and empower more groups to get their collective, community voices heard in our local decision-making forums. Since Covid hit us, it feels like people are taking stock as volunteers and the work & commitment they can give. The PPN Community Wellbeing Vision is complete now and can support PPN community reps to bring that voice to the table and really make a difference! The Tipperary PPN is going to work within all five of the county’s municipal districts, listening to what the member groups want, their thoughts and ideas, as we all move together, into a potentially different and more diverse future.” Tipperary PPN Team
