This month’s Community Corner brought us to Ranelagh Community Response, a community led organisation supporting older adults, families, and neighbours across the area.

Ranelagh Community Response started as an initiative to ensure elderly and vulnerable members of society in south Dublin were fed during the Covid-19 crisis, which sparked strong business and community support.
