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.
