CKT participates in Darkness into Light 2026

CKT team members took part in Darkness into Light 2026 at sunrise on Saturday morning, joining thousands of people across Ireland to support those affected by suicide and self‑harm.

The annual walk, which begins before dawn and finishes as daylight breaks, is organised in support of Pieta and aims to highlight the importance of awareness, connection and access to mental health supports. Events took place nationwide, bringing together individuals, families, organisations and local communities.

Supporting Pieta and mental health awareness

Darkness Into Light is Pieta’s flagship fundraising and awareness event. Funds raised contribute directly to Pieta’s free, professional services for people who have been impacted by suicide, self‑harm, or suicidal distress.

The event also plays an important role in encouraging ongoing conversations about mental health and reducing stigma, reminding participants of the value of early support and community connection.
