Summer Days and PPN Rep Calls
We here in the Tipperary PPN office hope you are enjoying the unusual (and temporary) summer temperatures and also are looking after yourselves and any animals you may have in the heat.
As we head into the holiday times, this is a reminder to you, our PPN member groups, who feel they have someone in their group who might fit one of our current vacant rep seats on the various boards, to nominate that person. This is done easily by clicking on the relevant link before the deadline next Monday 25th July, on the rep nomination email we sent out last week, filling it out and then becoming part of the community voice in our county’s decision-making structures.
We are definitely getting more heard and respected on these committees. Our PPN reps are getting opportunities to have their say about the issues and policies that affect our communities.
Just a reminder that when your group nominates, to make sure your group is in the correct municipal district or PPN pillar (Social Inclusion, Community & Voluntary or Environmental pillar) that is needed for that particular vacant PPN seat.
Good luck and if there are any questions, please contact Ruth on 087 4567111 or coordinator@ppntipperary.ie
And don’t forget your sunscreen!

Just Transition and Wellbeing for Rural Communities Survey
Irish Rural Link and Social Justice Ireland are undertaking a joint research project examining rural communities, wellbeing and a Just Transition. We would be very grateful if you could circulate this short survey to your members.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/HNQJW2P
The purpose of this survey is to get the views of rural dwellers and rural communities on a Just Transition, and how the wellbeing of rural communities can be improved. At this very important juncture in Irish life, as we begin to implement the policies to meet our national climate goals by 2030, your views and the views of your wider network are vital to developing a clear picture of the potential impact on rural communities across Ireland.
The survey will remain open until the 31/07/2022. We aim to present preliminary results at the end of September, with a full report to be published later in 2022

Culture Night is taking place on Friday 23 September 2022, and We Act will be showcasing a special programme of events with charities and community groups across Ireland. We want you to be part of it!
Share your organisation and the work you do with the public – this is your chance to open your doors and connect with potential members, service users, supporters, or volunteers.
Of course, many of us have been working away from the public over the last two years, and are probably out of practice for showcasing our spaces and hosting events. But planning a Culture Night event is easier than you think!
We Act Culture Night Event Ideas:
- Team up with other groups in your area for a community showcase
- Partner with another charity or community group to share the work you do separately, or how you collaborate on projects
- Let your team show visitors around your space and talk about the work you do
- Host an open house event with music, poetry or dance
- Hold a storytelling circle, with staff, volunteers or service users sharing their stories and the story of your organisation
- Invite guest speakers in and hold a panel session on the field you work in and the solutions you’re working towards.
This event is for all kinds of charities, community groups, and social enterprises, big or small, rural or urban. Charity and community work is part of our culture. Let’s share our stories, our value and our impact with the public and let our communities see that our organisations and our sector belongs to them too.
How do we take part?
