Darkness Into Light - Accenture

Darkness into Light is an annual fundraising activity held by Pieta House, a charity that provides free therapy to those engaging in self-harm, with suicidal ideation, or bereaved by suicide.

While we can’t gather together, our community of Mental Health Allies urge you to take part in the event, at a time and location that suits you. Share the very special sunrise, by posting photos and videos online using #DIL2021 #Accenture.

In the lead up to Darkness into Light, we ask you to think about completing at least one of these 5 activites and donate 5 to Pieta House

1. Challenge yourself to a 5km walk or run on the morning of Darkness into Light, and share your sunrise photo using #DILSunriseAppeal, or just wake up for sunrise and take a snap and share it #DILSunriseAppeal (adhering to COVID guidelines)

2. Reach out to 5 friends or reconnect with 5 people you've been meaning to contact
