Roscrea Lions Club, in collaboration with North Tipperary Hospice, is embarking on an innovative new project.
By partnering with local farmers and the local community the project aims to raise funds to support the establishment of a new support centre in Roscrea town which will provide much needed Hospice support services to Roscrea and its environs.
Farmers are encouraged to rear a calf from their own herd, or the Lions Club can source one if needed.
The farmers will generously donate their time and expertise to raise the calf alongside their own herd.
Once the calf reaches a suitable age or standard, it will be sold, and the proceeds will be shared between the Lions community and the North Tipperary Hospice.
This project highlights the generosity and community spirit that has been a longstanding tradition among farmers in the area. By recognising the strength of the local farming community, this endeavour has the potential to raise significant funds for the local Hospice.
The project not only acknowledges the cooperation and contribution of participating farmers but also invites others to donate towards the purchase of calves to be reared by host farmers.
North Tipperary Hospice Movement provides a wide range of programmes including psychological, practical, complimentary and group services.
Anyone that has been diagnosed with cancer or a life limiting illness, their families, carers or friends are entitled to avail of the services free of charge to ensure that no one goes through their experience alone.

North Tipperary Hospice already have two support centres in Nenagh and Thurles and the opening of their new centre in Roscrea will ensure that services are provided to the people of North Tipperary.
All funds raised locally stay in North Tipperary to ensure that the services can be provided free of charge to those that need them most.
