Welcome to North Tipperary Community and Voluntary Association

North Tipperary Community and Voluntary Association (CAVA) was established in March 2001 to represent the Community and Voluntary sector in the new local Government structures in North Tipperary.

Volunteering has a long history in Ireland, spanning a whole range of social activity. It represents a huge resource to society and provides a much needed service. C.A.V.A will work to ensure that this resource of knowledge and concern, represented by you, your club, your association and your neighbourhood, will have a voice where needed in the future of our county.

CAVA's mission statement is to facilitate people to empower themselves through collective participation in the community and voluntary development. As stated in our Objectives, CAVA will actively support and encourage community and voluntary groups to reach their potential, by developing networks, and providing information and training.

CAVA acts as a representative voice for the Community and Voluntary groups in North Tipperary in various bodies and committees such as North Tipperary Development Board, Strategic Policy Committees, Tipperary Leader, and other relevant decision making structures.

Membership is open to everyone involved in local community and voluntary group activity.
