On Friday, May 8th, members of our Southern Region team took part in Darkness into Light in Cork city in aid of Pieta House.
Walking from darkness into the morning light at sunrise, the team experienced the meaning behind the event. As our Regional Director, Ronan McCarthy, mentioned, speaking about mental health can help reduce stigma and encourage those who may be struggling to seek support.
Gathering at our Southern Region office on Carroll’s Quay, the group took in some of our landmark sites in Cork, including Penrose Dock, our ongoing project at Railyard Apartments, The Elysian, 85 South Mall, the historic Bridewell Garda Station, and the current restoration works at Crawford Art Gallery, all while the sun began to light up the city.
In 2025 alone, Darkness into Light fundraising has helped support more than 100,000 helpline calls and texts, 41,000 hours of counselling, and over 6,000 therapy journeys through Pieta’s services.
