The NTLP Traveller Programme aims to counter the disadvantage experienced by the Traveller Community in North Tipperary. There are three strands to the programme which promotes equality of access to services and equality of outcomes from services for the Travelling Community in North Tipperary. It works in partnership with the HSE, FÁS, VEC, North Tipperary County Council, Gardaí, Department of Education and North Tipperary Sports Partnership.

Traveller Development Programme
The Traveller Development Programme works with Travellers in Nenagh and Roscrea providing support to adults and young people to access educational and social / sporting activities. Groups are run for women, men and young people including literacy, numeracy, art and crafts, sporting and social activities. Support is provided to Travellers to access services and in liaising with service providers.

Primary Health Care Programme
The aim of the Primary Health Care Programme is to improve the health status and quality of life of the Travelling Community in North Tipperary. Traveller women have been trained and are employed as Community Health Workers. They deliver a health promotion programme to all Travellers in the County.

Family Support Programme
The aim of the Family Support Programme is to assist identified Traveller families in North Tipperary to better manage their homes and to interact with agencies and community structures more effectively. The Family Support Worker supports Traveller families: in existing housing and in relocation to new housing; in the upkeep of their home; in education for children; and in education for adults.
