LIGHT UP THE SKY AND THE RIVER SLANEY

On Saturday September 10^th at 9 p.m. (World Suicide Prevention Day), the sky over the Promenade and the River Slaney in Enniscorthy will be illuminated with chinese lanterns and floating candles.  This event is being organised in remembrance of our precious loved ones who we have lost through suicide.   A bucket collection will be held on the night to raise funds for 1 Life, the suicide prevention helpline – 1800 24 7 100.  1 Life is a freefone number which is open 24/7 for anyone who feels depressed, under pressure and in need of immediate assistance.  Please come along to the Promenade (at the playground) and join us to release a glimmer of light for our precious people and a symbol of hope for ourselves that our days in the future without our loved ones will be a little easier.  We all need something nice to look forward to.  “Hope is like the sun which as we journey towards it, casts a shadow of our burden behind us”.   Anonymous.
