The club decided that this year their special project should be to help fund the PIPS’ counselling programme.

“This service is provided by Counselling and Consultancy Services, a local agency, run by Jackie McCrum a credited psychotherapist,” said Peter Ryan, of The Rotary Club.

“It is a vital service that PIPS provides giving expert counselling to people who are at risk of suicide or self­harm and people bereaved by a relative or close friend who has died through suicide,” he added.

“For this we have managed to raise by ourselves and with a grant from Rotary District 1160 (our district representing all of Ireland) £4,000,” said Mr Ryan.
