The Wellbeing Committee have incorporated the Pieta House Darkness Into Light walk/run into our Wellbeing Awareness week this year. This event takes place on Saturday the 8th of May and we are looking to the whole school community to get involved.

Pieta’s three main pillars of practice are prevention, intervention, and postvention. Pieta’s prevention services include The Resilience Academy and the Amber Flag. We have seen first-hand the positive outcomes from our participation in The Resilience Academy Programme and we achieved our school Amber Flag in 2020.

Darkness Into Light is Pieta House’s flagship fundraiser, an event that is almost entirely organised by volunteers. Pieta is 80% funded by the public, and has reached over 59,000 people since 2006. Any small donation would be incredibly appreciated.

Our aim is to encourage the support of mental health services, and awareness of their presence. We also hope to encourage any form of activity, as a school wide community. Walk, run, swim, anything at all!

We thank you in advance for any donations.
