The Bull Wall Sunrise Dip
The Bull Wall Blue Balls are a men’s group, that supports each other by coming together for regular dips in the sea, followed by chats, craic and a cuppa.
As part of Darkness Into Light 2026, we are inviting EVERYONE, male & female, to join us in our Sunrise Dip 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 this 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. Even the price of a cup of coffee would make a huge difference.
Thank you so much for supporting Pieta and for helping Pieta continue this life-saving work.

Well done great turn out sorry couldn't get in the sea this time as bad headcold and earache but did another dawn swim before sick and will do more so hopefully that's OK! Brilliant event, uplifting and hopefully, like many I have lost my brother to depression and suicide, we can do our best to save others.
