A letter from Lisa Harber, Corporate Partnerships, Trust & Foundations and Major Gift Officer, Pieta
Pieta provides a professional one to one service to people who are in suicidal distress, those who engage in self- harm and those bereaved by suicide. We have 20 centres across Ireland and employ over 200 therapists and support staff. All our services are free of charge and no referral is needed. Since our doors opened in 2006 the charity has seen and helped over 70,000 people in suicidal distress or engaging in self harm. Your support has a very real impact on the service users who access Pieta. Although all of our services are free of charge to clients, we estimate that the cost of putting a client through a full suite of therapy is in the region of €1500. Through your support and with the help of our therapists, our clients will be brought from a place of despair to a place of hope and will be in a position to live a more fulfilled life. Through this work we can carry out our vision of creating “A World where Suicide, Self-Harm and Stigma have been replaced by Hope, Self-Care and Acceptance”. Pieta receives 80% of its income through fundraising and donations, so your support is vital to us. Once again many thanks for your generous donation. It really keeps us focused to see the support all around us. Pieta is so thankful to have the wonderful support of Ardmac, this support will help the team at Pieta to sustain our free, lifesaving services and will help those in distress move to a place of hope and light during these most challenging times. This wonderful support helps us continue providing our service which offers one to one counselling for people who are suicidal, people engaging in self-harming behaviours and people who are bereaved by suicide, and for this we are extremely grateful. We are so grateful to you all at Ardmac for your continued support and thank you all for your kindness which is enabling us to continue delivering our services to the people who need it.
