‘I’m a happy mum of two living with schizoaffective disorder’ I heard voices in my head and experienced hallucinations while I was sitting on my tiny chair, at my little desk in Montessori school.

“Nothing can prepare you for the experience,” says chef Garrett Fitzgerald of the Brother Hubbard restaurants in Dublin city centre. It’s a month since Garrett’s older brother Des took his own life.
Garrett went back to work last week and one of the first things he did was come up with an idea to raise funds for Pieta House, whose annual Darkness into Light event for fundraising and awareness-raising around su***de takes place on Saturday, May 8.
Des’s colleagues raised almost €25,000 for Pieta House after his death, and Garrett is hoping those who want to support the charity will sign up for a €20 breakfast pack or make a donation via www.brotherhubbard.ie.
If you have been affected by any of the issues raised please contact Samaritans helpline 116 123 or Aware helpline 1800 80 48 48 or Pieta House on 1800 247 247.

This article in The Irish Times back in February about CNN reporter Donie O'Sullivan is a great reminder to us all how important it is to ask for help and how it can change your life in a positive way, no matter what's going on.

Extremely important message for all of us from Dr Mike Ryan.

Dr Mike Ryan's frightening warning to humanity goes viral on Twitter At an event, in which he received the Trócaire Romero Award, WHO's Dr Mike Ryan issued a frightening warning of a future where a pandemic would be much more fatal, due to the 'chasing of economic growth'.

One of our keynote speakers who has been with us every year since we started the summit, Prof Jim Lucey has launched his new book which is available to buy online “A whole new plan for living”. It’s definitely worth reading at this time.

Lots of things might be unavailable and closed down right now but mental health support isn’t one of them. There’s help available so please just ask someone to help you and they will.

Wherever you are and however you're spending this time, we're sending warm wishes your way. Reach out if you need help at any time over the Christmas period, support services ARE available.

It's been a particularly tough year for those of us in the Events and Entertainment business, but we've made it through and for that we have to be thankful. We decided to use some of our time this year to refresh our brand and to create new, exciting and innovative ways for you to continue to network, engage, promote and celebrate with your clients and staff. All will be revealed in 2021!! Webinar fatigue has well and truly set in and while it's great that we can still run events, stay connected and maintain a presence virtually, we feel the importance of personal relationships will be valued more than ever as we move forward in this new world of doing business and communicating. Until then, wishing everyone a well deserved break wherever you are and however you're spending the holidays. Here's hoping we can all find a new appreciation for the things in life that really matter.

Now that shops are back open & Xmas approaches, there can be a real sense of pressure to have to go shopping & get Xmas stuff done. But please, don’t bow to the pressure, TAKE IT EASY & BREATHE. Surely the greatest gift this year is to stay well & keep in touch.😊

This is outrageous...€230,000 of government funding for a profit making Panto! Alan Hughes and his partner pay themselves huge salaries from this event in addition to his salary from his Ireland AM role. Funding is so badly needed in so many other areas, this is an inexplicable waste of taxpayers money! This decision should be overturned and put this funding to better use!

The show will go on for Alan Hughes after dramatic €230,000 funding u-turn The show will go on for Alan Hughes and Karl Broderick after Minister Catherine Martin’s Department performed a dramatic u-turn and awarded them €230,000 in Government funding.

Absolutely overwhelmed by the positive feedback after today’s Summit. The challenges this year to make it happen at times seemed insurmountable, but after the feedback we’ve received already today, it’s made it all worthwhile. Thanks to everyone who attended, to our sponsors, exhibitors and speakers...we couldn’t do it without you!
