About Glounthaune Tidy Towns
Everyone can contribute to their local environment.
Glounthaune Tidy Towns Committee was established over twenty years ago in an effort to galvanize the community to work together to ensure Glounthaune was not only a great place to live but also to work in and visit. Over the years the committee grew and forged alliances with the County Council, schools and community groups building a momentum that is in evidence today by the achievements of the local organization.
The purpose of this website is to continue to communicate the Glounthaune Tidy Towns message – Everyone can contribute to their local environment. We hope to increase the awareness of the Tidy Town initiatives by using this website to alert members of the community about our activities and also hope to grow our membership further. We can all make a difference.
Goals for the Future
- We wish to build on our recent Gold Medal in the 2025 Tidy Towns competition.
- Promote environmental awareness, civic spirit and pride in the community.
- Encourage active participation and involvement of groups and organisations in environmental initiatives.
- Create innovative and effective projects and initiatives with a view to addressing local challenges.
- Ensure value for money through maximisation of resources and through effective and efficient delivery of services.

Upcoming Events
Getting involved is easy. The beauty of the Glounthaune Tidy Towns initiative is that it is up to you to decide how much time you can give. It might simply be a decision to tidy around your own house, organise a clean up of your neighbourhood with your neighbours or set up a residents’ committee. There are also many scheduled clean up days you can take part in as well as competitions to enter. We are always looking for volunteers and welcome new members to our committee. The choice is yours.
We Are Always Looking For 1 Time Volunteers! No Commitment! Contact the chairman for more details
We do litterpicking every Tuesday morning at 10 am in the church office car park.
Come Join Us!
