Did you know we get 9.5 extra daylight hours on June 21st than on Dec 21st?
How will you spend those hours?
Walking / Hiking / Running / Swimming / Picnic / Meditation / Yoga
Lets plan some fun days - create your own fundraising event!
Work out what lifts your own spirit and create an event around that activity during June 20 - 23rd.
Be it a hike, cycle, walk, yoga session, picnic, swim fitness challenge - the sky is your limit! Then plan this event - invite your friends, family and local community to come along, wear yellow and participate in this outdoor activity and help us raise much needed funds.

Why do we fundraise?
Grow Mental Health provides free, non-judgmental support for those dealing with mental health challenges or life’s struggles. We have done so for over 50 years in Ireland. Our groups are open to anyone over the age of 18 and there are no waiting lists. People meet weekly and share their experience of overcoming their challenges, whether it be living with anxiety, depression, psychosis or making sense of a bereavement or an estranged relationship. Group members work through these issues together using our structured and proven 12 Step program. Thankfully people coming to our groups for support have never had to pay and we intend to keep it that way. Every cent raised through fundraising events like our GO YELLOW campaign whether large or small helps us maintain and expand our meeting network, allowing us to reach even more people throughout Ireland either with in person or online meetings.
