About

The Three Drives Family Resource Centre is a not for profit  Organisation situated in a large  Local Authority Housing Estate. We cater for people in the surrounding areas and engage in outreach on a regular basis. We are funded by T.U.S.L.A.

Residents Groups

We support local residents to undertake initiatives that will lead to estate enhancement and increased community spirit. This can entail, house painting schemes, mini environmental improvements such as the planting up of hanging baskets and the development and upkeep of flower beds in green areas.

As Community Liaison Officer of Tipperary County Council, I work in partnership with The Three Drives FRC on an ongoing basis. It is a great service for tenants and housing applicants of all our Local Authority estates and I often refer our tenants and housing applicants to this service. Three Drives FRC also provides support to local residents groups, enabling them to tackle some of the problems encountered within estates

The Centre has developed a community garden within the housing estates. With the help of local volunteers and residents it is maintained on a regular basis. Our Gardening and Bio-diversity Groups work in this garden throughout the year. 

This garden promotes an over-all sense of well-being. Having the opportunity to connect with our environment and promoting a shared passion for the outdoors.
