Darkness Into Light 🕯️

Darkness Into Light Belfast – Ormeau Park

Join us on Saturday, May 10, 2025, at 3.30AM for Darkness Into Light Belfast, a special 5KM walk in support of suicide prevention and mental health awareness. Together, we’ll start in the darkness and move toward the light, symbolizing hope, solidarity, and community support.

For many in the LGBTQ+ community, the darkness can feel overwhelming. LGBTQ+ individuals are disproportionately affected by mental health struggles, self-harm, and suicide, facing challenges like discrimination, rejection, and isolation. In Northern Ireland, where access to inclusive mental health support remains limited, too many lives have been lost.

But we are not alone, and together, we can bring change. This event is a chance to stand side by side, to remember those we’ve lost, and to show that there is always hope, there is always support, and there is always a community that cares.
