Darkness into light Slane 2026

Take Part Your Own Way organised by rachel Carolan

Our fundraising will help Pieta provide

112 helpline hours

30 crisis counselling sessions

13 therapy sessions

Please support my Darkness Into Light fundraiser.

We are taking part in Darkness Into Light Slane 2026 on Sat May 9th meeting at the square in Slane at 4:30am, taking a wellness walk to the Hill of Slane to watch the sunrise. Silly Sid’s will kindly open its new premises for a cuppa and chats after our walk. 


Every day, people find themselves in moments of deep distress. They feel overwhelmed, isolated, or unsure where to turn. Pieta is there for them, offering free, professional support at a time when it matters most.

Events like Darkness Into Light are vital. Around 80% of Pieta’s funding comes from public fundraising, including this event, proudly supported by Electric Ireland. This fundraising helps keep Pieta’s suicide and self-harm prevention services free and accessible for anyone who needs them, anywhere in Ireland.

By donating to my fundraiser, you are helping to ensure that someone in crisis can reach a trained therapist, be listened to, and feel less alone in that moment.

A €24 donation could help answer two calls to Pieta's 24-hour Crisis Helpline, moments that can make a real difference and even save lives.

Thank you so much for supporting me and for helping Pieta continue this life-saving work.
