Rural Social Scheme Support at Tipperary Community Services Centre

“Thanks to the Rural Social Scheme, we’re able to maintain a welcoming and reliable space for the community every single day.” – Brian English, Centre Manager

Tipperary Community Services Centre in Tipperary town has long served as a vital hub, offering essential supports such as Meals on Wheels, a community restaurant, the Senior Alert Scheme, and the Food Cloud. Over the years, the Rural Social Scheme (RSS) has played a crucial role in sustaining these services. The Centre’s continued success is in no small part due to the dedicated work of RSS participants, who bring valuable skills and commitment. Martina Donovan, a long-term RSS participant, is an integral team member. Her work in administration, HACCP compliance, and customer service ensures the smooth daily running of service. The consistent presence of RSS participants allows the Centre to plan and deliver services with confidence, even as community needs evolve.

Our work with Tipperary Community Services clearly demonstrates the vital role the Rural Social Scheme plays in supporting community and voluntary organisations, by providing reliable personnel who help maintain essential local services.
