On Monday July 29th, the Tipp town service celebrated its 2nd Birthday at a function at the CJ Kickham Band Rooms.

C-SAW Tipperary is a voluntary organisation providing a drop-in ‘listening ear’ support service for anyone who is feeling sad and depressed. C-SAW was established to help members of the community who have lost loved ones to suicide and the service has been extended to all individuals seeking support because of feeling low, sad or depressed.

Margi Maxwell welcomed the attendance to the celebration saying that this service would not be possible without the support of volunteers.

"I would like to welcome the volunteers who are here today and also the volunteers that have travelled from Clonmel. Obviously the service is very important in the community and I want to thank you all for your involvement and to welcome some new faces to the service. We are very grateful for your support" said Margi.

Founder of C-Saw Joe Leahy also extended a welcome to everyone.

"I want to thank all of our volunteers here in Tipp town for keeping the show on the road here over the past two years. I would like to thank everyone who has called here to have a chat and to 'shoot the breeze' every Monday morning. It is great to see such a big crowd here and please continue to spread the word and keep calling" said Joe.

There was the customary cutting of the birthday cake by the C-Saw volunteers and there was a great selection of delicious pastries provided for patrons.

During the birthday celebrations Donnacha O'Grady and Chrissie Greene attended to present a cheque for €1,330, the proceeds of the Ned Greene Memorial Tournament, which was held at the Canon Hayes Sports Complex on Saturday June 29th. The money will be divided equally between C-Saw Tipp town and Tipperary Special Olympics Club.

The Tipp town drop-in service is open every Monday morning from 10am at the CJ Kickham Band Rooms.
