Making connections in Tipperary through a Cultural Companions initiative

This group attended the launch of the Cultural Companions initiative

Tipperary County Council has proudly launched a new Cultural Companions group in Clonmel – a heart-warming initiative that brings older adults together through shared cultural experiences.

The group, part of the Age and Opportunity programme, enables social connectedness by connecting like-minded individuals who enjoy theatre, concerts, exhibitions, and more.

“Its about friendship, connection, and enjoying all that Tipperary’s cultural scene has to offer,” said Eoin Kaar, Healthy Tipperary Co-ordinator.

Membership is free, and events are already drawing strong interest.
“Joining Cultural Companions has been a breath of fresh air” said Mary, one of the founding members.
“I’ve met wonderful people and enjoyed meet ups and events I wouldn’t have gone to on my own. It’s really opened up a whole new world for me.”
