Skydive For Life 2019

For Prevention, For Youth, For Life

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 2019.  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 YSPI to fund our programmes for 2019, and if you can organise a group of 10 or more then we can support you with your own group Skydive Day.

Joining this amazing challenge will not only fund our Schools Programme but will  help us to raise at least €150,000 to:

Buy a second-hand event unit
Convert it into a mobile crisis counselling centre
Staff it with trained crisis counsellors
Fund the running costs of the mobile centre for two years
Be a rapid response unit to provide fast support to teenagers at high 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 Skydive For Life 2019.
