2026 Darkness Into Light

On May 9th, 2026, at locations across Co. Armagh, hundreds of people from all walks of life ventured from Darkness Into Light and became part of a powerful movement bringing light to those affected by suicide and self-harm.

Every step taken helped to raise awareness of suicide and fundraise to help PIPS Hope & Support deliver vital, lifesaving services across our community, providing hope to those who need it.

"I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who contributed to the Camlough event as well as the Darkness Into Light events held in Armagh, Lurgan and Crossmaglen.

You all did an amazing job and I want to personally thank each and every one of you for your commitment, hard work and support.

These events simply would not happen without your continued input, dedication and willingness to give your time year after year.

They have become a vital part of the support we provide to bereaved families, offering opportunities for connection, remembrance, healing and mutual support.

The impact of these events on the families we support should never be underestimated and that is a testament to the compassion and commitment shown by all involved.

Thank you once again for everything you do."

Seamus McCabe, CEO at PIPS Hope & Support
