Nominated Charity

We are delighted to announce that Samaritans Sligo is our chosen charity for 2017.

The Samaritans have been operating in Sligo for 32 years and have over 100 volunteers in the local branch. The Samaritans is available 24 hours a day to provide confidential emotional support for people who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair including those which may lead to suicide.

They are dependent on the generosity of donors in order to keep the branch open, so are very appreciative of every little donation they receive – there’s no amount too big or too small.

Cyclists will have the opportunity to donate online when registering or may raise funds through a sponsorship raffle card where all tickets will be entered into a sponsorship raffle draw with some great prizes. Contributions to the charity are not inbuilt into the event registration fee hence it is hoped that cyclists will support this worthy fundraiser. The funds raised will go towards the development of the local service.

Samaritans Sligo’s Vision

The Samaritans vision is for a society in which fewer people die by suicide, people are able to explore their feelings and where people are able to acknowledge and respect the feelings of others.

Samaratins Sligo Services

The Samaritans can be contacted by free phone, text or by email. They welcome face to face callers into their branch between the hours of 12-9pm. They took over 40,000 calls in the Sligo branch alone in 2015.  The Samaritans is available 24 hours a day to provide confidential emotional support for people who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair including those which may lead to suicide.

Thank you for your support.
