Community rallies to back suicide alert grouping

PIPS Larne, the suicide awareness charity, has benefited from two community fund-raising efforts.

On Saturday, Gary Peoples ran 14 miles between Carrickfergus and Larne to raise sponsorship for PIPS in memory of his friend, Thomas McAuley.

And Larne and District Ladies’ Darts League has presented the group with a 250 donation.

PIPS will host family support group meetings for those bereaved by suicide, to be held on the first Tuesday of every month, starting in September.

The group is also running Lifeguard suicide prevention training programmes, aimed at the whole community. The training is free, with an optional 20 charge for OCN level 2 accreditation, and will be held each Saturday in September from 10am to 4pm, with lunch provided.
