Most Saturday mornings ask very little of you. This one asks a little bit more. An early alarm, a hi-vis vest, and a few hours standing in the darkness before the rest of the world has stirred. And yet every volunteer who gave exactly that to last year's Darkness into Light walks will tell you, without hesitation, that they would do it again every single year. Not out of obligation, but because being the person who makes something this important possible is an experience that stays with you.

On Saturday, 9th May, Darkness into Light returns to Cricklewood, Clapham, Hazelwood and Luton, and it needs volunteers and marshals across all four locations to make it happen. Every walker who passes your marshal point that morning is there because you made it safe and welcoming for them to be. The funds they raise go to Pieta House and icap, a charity providing culturally sensitive counselling to Irish people in the UK who need it most.

Volunteer registration is open now. Simply pop us a DM to express your interest.

This year’s annual darkness into light walks in London and Luton will continue to support the work of icap and support Pieta House’s free life-saving services. Each year funds that are raised go to support therapy hours at icap and Pieta House, and organisers are hoping to build on this success with even greater participation in 2026. Your support is essential for us to continue our work in helping our communities at home in Ireland and here in the UK to navigate loss, loneliness, mental health challenges and suicidal thoughts with culturally sensitive care that truly understands
their experience.

Two weeks from now, it will already be over. The alarm will have gone off, the streets of Cricklewood, Clapham, Hazelwood and Luton will have filled with hundreds of Irish men and women walking through the darkness together. The sun will have risen over London and Bedfordshire while you are stood with your community, and there is still time to make sure you are there.

If you have been following this campaign and have not yet registered, you are not the only one and you are not too late. Two weeks is more than enough time to sign up.

Every registration contributes directly to the work of Pieta House, which provides free professional therapy to people in suicidal distress, and icap, which delivers free, culturally sensitive counselling to Irish people living in the UK. These services exist within your community, at home and in the UK, and depend on your support to continue.

Cricklewood, Clapham, Hazelwood or Luton - register today and make sure that when the darkness gives way to light on the morning of 9th May, you are standing in it.

With two weeks left until the Darkness into Light walks take place across Cricklewood, Clapham, Hazelwood and Luton, there is still a comfortable and unhurried window to register. But that window is closing, and at this moment in time, that deserves your attention.

The walks begin at 4:15am on Saturday, 9th May, which sounds more daunting in advance than it feels on the morning itself. Particularly, when you arrive to find the streets around your chosen location already filled with Irish men and women who made the same decision you did and are every bit as glad of it. Darkness into Light was created by Pieta House to bring communities together around the vital conversation of su***de prevention and self-harm awareness. In London and Bedfordshire every registration funds both Pieta House and icap; whose free culturally sensitive counselling services exist specifically to meet the mental health needs of Irish people living in the UK.

Two weeks is more than enough. Register now at the link below, choose your location, and give yourself the experience you will be grateful for long after the morning is over.

"It's not about the times or the miles, but instead it's a coming together for a very good cause. Every pace counts, just as every individual deserves to be heard."

Those are the words of James Meade, who this Sunday will be running the London Marathon in support of icap, and they say everything about why this matters.

James is not just a supporter of icap. He is a Trustee. Someone who sees first-hand, every week, the dedication of the team working to ensure that Irish people across the UK have access to free, culturally sensitive counselling and therapy. He knows what this charity does. And he is putting 26.2 miles behind it.

Get behind James this Sunday. Share his page. Make a donation. Let him know the community is with him every mile of the way.

There is a moment at the end of a great evening when you look around the room and think, I am glad I was here for that. Last night at the Electric Ballroom was one of those moments.

Ballroom Boom Sideline Productions & Billy McGrath is the story of the Irish showband scene and brought back to one of its original London homes, and it did so in the most brilliant way. A heartfelt thank you to Adam Clayton, whose passion for the genre came through in his storytelling and screening of his filmed based on the Irish ballroom era. Thank you to Kate Fuller, whose family built the Electric Ballroom into the landmark it is today.

icap is genuinely honoured to have been chosen as a beneficiary of Ballroom Boom, and your support last night will make a real difference to Irish people across the UK who need access to mental health services.

For many of the volunteers who gave their time to last year's walks, the decision to get involved began not with a grand gesture but with a quiet moment of recognition. A conversation overheard. A friend who had struggled. A family that had been touched by loss. An awareness, grown slowly over time, that mental health and su***de prevention were not abstract causes but living, urgent realities within our Irish community.

The walk, founded by Pieta House and raising funds for both Pieta House and icap, depends entirely on the people who choose to give their Saturday morning to make it run safely and successfully. Without its volunteers, there is no walk. Without its marshals, there is no community gathering in the dark and arriving together in the light.

This year, the Darkness into Light walks return to all four locations, Cricklewood, Clapham, Hazelwood and Luton, on Saturday, 9th of May, and we need you. Whether that means lacing up your trainers as a walker or pulling on a high-visibility vest as a volunteer. Both matter equally. Both make the morning possible. Register to walk using the link or sign up to volunteer by sending a DM, and be part of the team that brings Darkness into Light to London and Bedfordshire in 2026.

Your club has shown up for championships and county finals, for fundraising nights and club socials, for the matches that mattered and the ones that were played in the lashing rain with nobody watching from the side-line. The GAA has always been about more than the game itself. It has been about the community that gathers around it, the bonds that form in training and in dressing rooms and in the clubhouse afterwards, and the quiet but powerful understanding that when something matters, you show up together.

This May, there is a morning that matters, and we are calling on every GAA club and Irish county association in London and Bedfordshire to answer it as only they know how. Darkness into Light takes place at 4:15am on Saturday, 9th May, across four locations, Cricklewood, Clapham, Hazelwood and Luton, and this year we are extending a direct invitation to every GAA club and county association in the region to register as a group and walk together.

Mental health is a conversation that the GAA has been working hard to open in recent years, and walking as a club on 9th May is one of the most visible and meaningful ways your group can demonstrate that the conversation is not just open but active within your own community.

If your club or county association is ready to be part of this, group registration is now open. Choose your nearest walk, Cricklewood, Clapham, Hazelwood or Luton, gather your members, and show up on 9th May the way your club always does. Together, and with purpose.

It would be easy to look at Darkness into Light and to see it as just a walk. An early morning, an alarm set before the sun rises, a crowd of people moving through the streets together as the sky changes colour above them. And while all of that is true, and while the morning itself is genuinely extraordinary, what happens after the walk is over is where the real story of this event lives. Because the funds raised by your registration do not stay in a spreadsheet. They move. They travel directly into the hands of two charities that are providing therapy, counselling and life-changing support to Irish people in the UK who need it most.

When you register for the walk, you become a part of the support. You become one of the people who make the sessions possible, who kept the door open, who ensured that somewhere in London or Bedfordshire, a person who needed help was able to find it without having to worry about the cost.

Register now and join us at 4:15am on Saturday, 9th May at whichever of the four walks is closest to you, Cricklewood, Clapham, Hazelwood or Luton. Your registration is more than a morning. It is a lifeline for someone who needs one.
