Help ‘YOU ARE NOT ALONE’ to reach No. 1 for PIETA HOUSE

YOU ARE NOT ALONE for PIETA HOUSE

Today the Artists of Future Hope: Ryan O’Shaughnessy, Mary Byrne, Dublin Gospel Choir, Heroes in Hiding, TAKEN, Flynn Johnson, Brian Keville, Andrew Mann, Ashlee & Rob, Scanlon, Two in Tune, Seán McComish, Ben Lynch released their version of Michael Jackson’s ‘You are not alone‘ in aid of Pieta House.

The aim of this post is to help create awareness for both the release of this single so that it will raise vital funds for Pieta House, and to also share some information on this very important charity and the effective services it provides for the people of Ireland.

This isn’t the first time I’ve talked about Pieta House here on The Life of Stuff, last year I posted about Neon Atlas’ ‘Somewhere’ charity single. Then earlier this year, in May, I partook in Darkness into Light, again to both raise awareness and raise funds for the charity.

Pieta House are a brilliant charity and here are some facts you should know:

• Pieta House is a centre for the prevention of self-harm or suicide.
• It opened it’s doors in Lucan, Co. Dublin 10 years ago in 2006.
• Since its staff has helped approximately 28,000 people in suicidal distress or contemplating or engaging in self harm.
• The centre has also spread its wings and opened up eight more centres, in Ballyfermot, Tallaght, Finglas, Limerick, Cork, Tipperary, Galway and Kerry.
• Pieta House has treated nearly 5,000 people every year for the last three years.
• It offers suicide bereavement counselling and operates a free 24-hour suicide helpline.
