362 helpline hours

96 crisis counselling sessions

43 therapy sessions

our group of “not so close by” came together in january of 2024 and adam was the one who started it all and brought us together. adam was not only the brightest smile in this group, but also in every room he ever stepped into. our group has decided to wal

On Saturday, 9th of May, we’ll be taking part in Darkness Into Light 2026. This is a walk that holds deep meaning for so many people, us included.  

We’re walking to show support for those who are struggling right now, to honour those we’ve lost, and to help ensure Pieta can continue to be there for people when they need support most. 

Every step we take is for someone who may feel unseen, unheard, or overwhelmed. It’s our way of saying, “You are not alone. Help is available. There is always light, even when it’s hard to see it.” 

If you’re in a position to support our walk, please know that every single euro helps Pieta continue to answer the call and guide people towards hope at some of the darkest moments of their lives. 

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for being part of this and for supporting us along the way. 

Thank you to our Sponsors
