Are you ready for the most important sunrise of the year?
We here at Irish Sailing are looking ahead to brighter days in the next few weeks and months and excited to get back on the water!
We would like to encourage YOU and your club to take part in Darkness Into Light 2025, proudly supported by Electric Ireland. This unique event will take place at 4:15 a.m. on Saturday, May 10, 2025, bringing communities together in solidarity to support mental health and suicide prevention, and we'd love you to be part of it.
There are many ways for your Club to take part:
- Join an official Darkness Into Light walk – Walk together as a Club and show your support.
- Host an early morning sail in your local area – Come together as a Club to support Pieta services to support those in crisis in our communities, by hosting a morning sail and coffee afterwards, from 4.15am in your local club/community
- Organize an event in your club – Host & dedicate a friendly event that weekend to raising funds and awareness.
Your participation directly supports Pieta’s life-saving work. Last year, we spent over 3 million minutes having potentially life-saving conversations and answered 25,000 calls and 75,000 texts from people in crisis.
Join us in turning Darkness Into Light for those who need it most.
You can sign up for a walk or register your fundraiser here - www.darknessintolight.ie
We really hope you can join us for the most important sunrise of the year and Irish Sailing will be sharing the relevant safety information for hosting your Darkness into Light Sail later in the month.
