PPN News
Myself (Ruth), Sharon and the Secretariat here at Tipperary PPN would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year this 2022! This will be my first January in the role of the PPN coordinator. I am settling into the job and really hope to meet a lot more of you, our community group members this year, as the pandemic dies down, fingers crossed. We seem to have a busy year ahead generally in the PPN and will be working with other organisations, like the County Council, on, for example, public consultations and events. One of our first pieces of training this year has come from a need identified, both by our members, and also, by funders. It is a Grant Application Writing workshop, on Thursday 10th February 2022 from 7pm-9pm. delivered by John Warren of JE Warren Consulting. However, the response has been so huge that our first workshop is now fully booked up. So we have decided to run another Grant Application Writing workshop, on Thursday 3rd March 2022 from 7pm-9pm. To book you place for this workshop please visit https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/grant-application-writing-workshop-tickets-255239136127 Below are the objectives that can be achieved by attending this one evening course:
Another upcoming event that the PPN is hosting soon is, for the PPN Environmental Pillar groups. This will be its second gathering at Cabragh Wetlands Environmental Education Centre on THIS Saturday 29th January at 10.30am-1pm The Environmental & Climate Action Section of Tipperary County Council will be present, as well as the LEADER section of South Tipperary Development Company, to give information and updates on upcoming relevant consultations and funding opportunities. It is also a great chance for the PPN groups to network together and information share. This looks like becoming a regular quarterly event.
Funding/ Grant Opportunities

The 2022 National Grant Scheme for Sport and Physical Activity for Older People is now open for applications. The 2022 National Grant Scheme aims to assist in the implementation of locally developed, well planned initiatives designed to increase participation in recreational sport and physical activity by older people. These grants are available to all eligible local clubs, groups and organisations that promote increased participation in recreational sport or physical activity for older people as a main element of their activities. Funds permitting, grants awarded will be between €300 and €700 and may be allocated towards the cost of the eligible initiatives outlined on the grant form. We recognise the impact that Covid 19 has had on older peoples’ participation in sport and physical activity over the last 2 years. Therefore, within this 2022 Grant there are specific allocations aimed at encouraging older people back to sport and physical activity and their clubs. The same impact has been felt by those in care settings (both residential and day care settings) around the country so we are opening up the grant this year to both public and private nursing homes and day care centres.

Tipperary Festivals and Events Grant Scheme 2022 is now open. Festivals and events are crucial to the fabric of life in County Tipperary and they deliver a range of economic, social and cultural benefits. They entertain, they celebrate our communities, showcase our villages and towns and are often an expression of identity and place. They represent arts, cultural, heritage and sporting assets and make a positive contribution in influencing the perception of County Tipperary. Tipperary County Council aims to promote and support local festivals throughout the County that are not solely commercially focused, to support and assist those events that have a tourism/cultural/artistic/sporting or community focus and which contribute significantly to quality of life. Application Forms & Guidelines and more information are available at https://www.tipperarycoco.ie/content/tipperary-festivals-events-grant-scheme-2022 The deadline for submissions is 12 noon on Friday 11th February 2022.
