      Unfortunately, when services like this are in even more demand, the reality is the cost of living crisis is affecting important charities.

      With the major boost they get from the walks, there are questions to be asked about their governance and budgetary choices

      Too many local charities doing their own versions of Darkness into Light, in fairness after a raft of suicides locally l, massive fund-raising for Pieta, which led to absolutely no help from Pieta, our local community does one, brings in enough to keep a room going where anyone struggling can call a number and have professional help there within the hour. While Pieta just took 40k raised on Facebook, blocked the organisers and have never been heard from since, well apart from legal letters ….

      Did the CEO take a pay cut? No word of that. I texted the helpline a few weeks ago. Still waiting on a reply. Absolute useless fecks.

      Remember the HSE audited them a few years ago and found them dodgy as hell. About 20 different bank accounts and no records.

      > In recent years, the HSE has doubled its funding of Pieta House from €2 million to €4 million.

      Hope they’ve checked

      There are other ways these days to get likes on social media other than Darkness into Clicks.

      Well well well. I wonder if they pocketed the Darkness into Clicks money before announcing this. Grifters.

      Coincidental how she came to Pieta to take over running the show after a financial scandal having come from CRC after a similar financial scandal. And Pieta only exists because of the Console scandal. The HSE will pay her wages up 1st before bailing Pieta out, as she worked for the HSE too.

      The CEOs keep their jobs and massive wages, all the frontline staff got fired.

      Tried to use them a few years ago, like others I never got a call back, that’s after actually being in a position to donate and do the darkness to light thing a few times.

      I stopped supporting completely when I found out how much the CEO take home pay was and how poor their services have become.

      A shame. Was only on the phone to them last night. Cork fella I spoke to was lovely

      When I went to them. I was told I would need to wait at least 8 weeks before they would have someone available to talk to us. . We had done the walk on a previous number of years and tried to help our when we could with it. They will never get a cent of my family again.
