Still time to register for Darkness into Light

There is still time to register for Darkness Into Light 2024, a unique annual sunrise event happening across County Armagh in support of the suicide prevention and awareness charity, PIPS Hope and Support and PIETA.

Taking place on Saturday, May 11th at various locations including Bessbrook/Camlough (Derramore Woods), Crossmaglen (Cross Square), Armagh (Navan Fort & Centre) and Lurgan (Lurgan Park), this event invites participants to walk together from darkness into dawn.

Darkness Into Light is a powerful movement that aims to bring hope and support to individuals and communities impacted by suicide. By participating, supporters can help fund important resources provided by PIPS Hope and Support, such as crisis counselling services, bereavement support, support groups, and educational initiatives.

Registration for Darkness Into Light is still open to individuals of all ages and abilities, making it a family-friendly event that supports a crucial cause.

"We are overwhelmed by the support we have received for Darkness Into Light and PIPS Hope and Support," said Padraig Harte, Fundraising, Marketing, and Communications Manager at PIPS. "This event serves as a reminder that even in the darkest times, there is always hope and support available. We urge everyone to join us in this meaningful event and help make a difference in the lives of those affected by suicide."

Padraig continued, "We are grateful to everyone who has signed up and continues to support our charity. Your kindness does not go unnoticed and enables us to have a positive impact within our communities."
