N2- End to End Portugal Challenge 2026

 

Participants on our N2; end-to-end Portugal Challenge and their fundraising efforts, are directly supporting the delivery of Cycle Against Suicide’s work across families, schools, communities, and workplaces.

 

Funds raised through the N2 Portugal Challenge are vital in underpinning both the delivery and continued development of our programmes, enabling us to provide accessible mental health awareness, education, and peer-support initiatives nationwide. Their commitment helps us reduce stigma, promote help-seeking, and create spaces where open conversations about mental health can take place.

 

Specifically, their support contributes to our work with children and young people in schools, the development of parent supports, and the expansion of peer-support programmes in workplaces and communities. It also underpins targeted initiatives focused on men’s mental health, where the need remains critical. By their participation in our N2; end-to-end Portugal Challenge, the are helping Cycle Against Suicide empower individuals with the knowledge, tools, and confidence to face mental health challenges and ensuring that the message “It’s OK not to feel OK, and it’s OK to ask for help” continues to reach those who need it most.
