For the past two years, I’ve had the privilege of working as a trainee psychotherapist with An Síol Community Development Partnership in Stoneybatter, Dublin. This incredible organisation provides vital mental health support, community outreach, and holistic care to those who need it most. Every day, I witness the profound impact An Síol has, helping individuals and families navigate challenges, heal, and build resilience.

As I work toward becoming a fully accredited member of the IACAP (Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), I’ve seen firsthand how under-resourced mental health services can be. Many in the community rely on places like An Síol for support they can’t find elsewhere.

How Your Support Helps

Every euro raised will go directly to An Síol, ensuring they can continue offering:

✔ Affordable counselling for those who can’t access private therapy.

✔ Community programs that combat isolation and foster connection.

✔ Outreach services supporting vulnerable groups in Dublin 7 and beyond.

Running 42.2km won’t be easy, but knowing I’m doing it for a cause close to my heart will keep me going. Please donate what you can, no amount is too small.

Together, we can help An Síol keep planting seeds of hope (just as their name suggests!) in our community.

Thank you for your generosity and support!
