Cycle for Suicide – Break the Cycle
From Cycle Against Suicide Ireland:
Suicide is claiming the lives of at least 800 people each year on the island of Ireland.These people include fathers and mothers, wives and husbands, sons and daughters, sisters and brothers, best friends and colleagues.
Cycle Against Suicide is a voluntary organisation that aims to:
*Raise Awareness of this prevalent issue
*Offer reassurance that it’s OK not to feel OK; and it’s absolutely OK to ask for help
*Direct people in need to where this critical help is available both locally and nationally.
Together, shoulder to shoulder, we can Break the Cycle of Suicide on the island of Ireland!

Cycle Against Suicide Homestay Programme:
Cycle Against Suicide operates a Homestay Programme that sees people from across the island of Ireland open up their homes to participants of the Cycle each year providing them with a warm meal, a chance to freshen up and a bed for the night. This unique initiative facilitates a conversation around mental health in homes – with and between families. It also provides an opportunity for people to lend their support in a very tangible way to Cycle Against Suicide without necessarily having to get on a bike.
If you can offer a warm meal and bed for the night to any of our cyclists and crew for the 2016 Cycle please email homestay@cycleagainstsuicide.com
