Local Irish supporters encouraging the charity

This past month of June has been a really active month for the charity.  Not only in the counselling being offered on an ongoing basis but there were three other significant events happening.

The first was the successful completion of a series of four workshops equipping people within the community to respond effectively to those struggling with life issues including suicide and self-harm.  The group attending were enthusiastic and will hopefully, be better informed when facing people struggling with issues in the future.

The second was the completion of a support group which was aimed at not only equipping future facilitators, but also giving them an experience of what the various exercises 'felt' like - thus giving a fuller knowledge of how future attendees may respond in a group.  We were delighted with the outcome and the level of involvement engaged in, and look forward to integrating new facilitators in future months.

The third was a support group of a completely different nature.  Local supporters of the Hope Trust charity, who believe in the work we are doing, and wanted to participate in sharing 'hope' with those who have lost it, organised a sponsored climb up the famous Croagh Patrick mountain in Mayo county, West Ireland.  The event was attended by around 30 ordinary folk of varying ages and degrees of fitness!  This included 6 family groups who spurred each other on to reach the top - all 2507 feet of it, along very rough and rocky terrain.

We felt really proud of them - from those who managed 50ft to the majority who reached the top - 

We as a charity are extremely grateful to all our donors - the work we do often necessitates a lot of privacy and as a result not a lot of public exposure.  To have people consistently offering support adds value to the work we are undertaking and is really encouraging.

Thank you to all our donors, we appreciate you all!
