About Us

Swinford Tidy Town’s Committee was first established in 1996, and has grown in strength and numbers since then. We started off with 5 core volunteer’s, and today we have 25 dedicated committee members, all of whom are passionate about making Swinford an attractive and inviting town for locals and visitors alike.

Much of the volunteer work involves litter-picking, planting flowers & shrubs, weeding, sweeping, watering & feeding flowers & plants and so on. We would very much welcome any help and support that you could give us. We normally meet at 7pm on Wednesday’s, and 11am on Saturday mornings at the No Name Club on Chapel Street.

Have a look at the Calendar for weekly updates and upcoming events. Also, have a look in the photo gallery, where you can see all the volunteer’s in action! You can view all the projects that we have completed on our Projects Page. We also now have a Result’s archive section, where you can view the results and recommendations from previous years, when Swinford entered the Tidy Town’s competition. You can also check our facebook page; www.facebook.com/swinfordtidytowns You can also follow us on Twitter; @swintidytowns We also have a Youtube Channel.
