Carrick-on-Suir Meals Assistance Service, a Social Enterprise based in Carrickbeg is a voluntary self-funded group dedicated to providing hot nourishing food to pensioners. In 2023 they availed of a SICAP Social Enterprise grant to purchase a new item of kitchen equipment to ensure the safe and correct sealing of freshly prepared dinners. Carrick Meals Assistance Service provides 200 freshly prepared meals per week, Monday to Friday to older people living in Carrick on Suir and the wider area. The service is run by a team of almost 30 volunteers all of whom play valuable roles in preparing, cooking and delivering food to the older people living alone who use the service.
In South Tipperary SICAP supports the development, capacity and sustainability of a range of social enterprises including community centres, meals on wheels services, community cafes, cultural and heritage centres to name but a few.
