Friday, 7 May 2021 12:39

Its in aid of Pieta House.

The annual Darkness Into Light event will take place tomorrow to raise funds for suicide prevention charity Pieta House.

Due to restrictions, Pieta House is asking people to get out before sunrise and do a walk or challenge on their own - or in their social bubble.

Only 3 days to go. Remember to check what time the sun rises in your local area, wrap up warm, and take extra precautions if the weather is against us.

No group gatherings are happening this year, but we can all share the same sunrise.
