About Cycle Against Suicide
Cycle Against Suicide is an awareness charity (CHY 20687) that makes a valuable contribution to the public education of mental health by changing the narrative surrounding suicide. When an individual is vulnerable enough to consider taking their own life, silence is read as indifference. With hundreds of people dying by suicide in Ireland each year and research indicating that thousands more contemplate it, we all have a role to play to collectively address the challenges that suicide presents. In a bid to save more lives, Cycle Against Suicide through its programmes, sets out to change culture and create a society that openly talks about suicide to allow people to speak up and seek help.
About Virtual Cycle of Hope 2024
This World Suicide Prevention Day/Month (September), Cycle Against Suicide is partnering with the International Association for Suicide Prevention and we invite everyone to take part in our virtual Cycle of Hope.
The 'Cycle of Hope' goes beyond a physical challenge; it's a collective movement that unites individuals, schools, and organisations in creating supportive communities where people feel valued and heard. By building connections, fostering understanding, and offering support, we can change the narrative on suicide and suicidal behaviour.
Let us make a change and help create a brighter, more hopeful future for everyone. Gather you family, your friends, you work colleagues. Cycle any distance, on bike, trike or static spin bike and join our virtual 'Cycle of Hope'.
