Ireland still has one of the highest reported rates of death by suicide in the European Union with young males under 21 being most at risk but children as young as 9 years old have died by suicide too. Our experience is that the actual rate is much higher, and almost no school or community in the country is untouched by losing someone to suicide.
We want to invite you to join the Skydive For Life 2025. Skydiving is an amazing experience as you freefall through the clouds and see the stunning Irish countryside stretching away to the horizon. By raising sponsorship
for your
Skydive For Life you will be helping Youth Suicide Prevention Ireland to fund our programmes for 2025 and beyond.
Due to the huge increase in mental health issues since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic all funds raised from the Skydive For Life are going towards our Youth Crisis Counselling Service which will pay for fast, free, access to local counsellors and psychologists for young people in crisis or at immediate risk of suicide or self-harm.
Joining this amazing challenge will help us to raise at least €150,000 during 2025 to:
Fund 800 hours of crisis counselling
Facilitate fast access to counselling services for families in crisis
Fund counselling support for schools with students in crisis
Fund counselling referrals from GPs with patients at risk of suicide.
You can help us in our vital, life-saving work, and amaze yourself with one of the most thrilling experiences you can have, by joining
