St. Fintan's Pieta House

Take Part Your Own Way organised by Sandra Guinan

Our fundraising will help Pieta provide

391 helpline hours

104 crisis counselling sessions

46 therapy sessions

Please support our Darkness Into Light fundraiser here at St. Fintans High School.

I’m taking part in Darkness Into Light 2026 to support Pieta and bring hope to people affected by suicide and self-harm.

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.

Thank you so much for all your kindness and support that you have given us in our endeavours to raise funds for Pieta House. We had a lovely walk to Howth and back and had lovely conversations as we travelled. We look forward to continuing our journey again next year. Thanks again for your continued support. Prefects, Student Council, Sandra and John.



On the eve...

Hi,

I just want to take this few lines to thank everybody who donated and checked in our page . Each year when we  start this journey we hope to raise both awareness and funds for the fantastic work done by Pieta House. We recognise the importance of being there for one another in whatever way we can, a smile, a kind word a wave of the hand. 
Tomorrow we walk for our 5th year as "friends of St. Fintan's" . 
I look forward to hearing your voices chatter as we journey together for an hour or so from Darkness into Light.
Thank you to all for you support.
Sandra Guinan.
