I am sure you can appreciate that Teac Tom has not been in a position to fundraise due to the current pandemic however, we have kept the service open throughout the lockdown and strive to remain open for the foreseeable future.  This event needs to be a success with donations so we appreciate whatever you can contribute as every penny counts no matter how big or small.

Teac Tom receives no government funding so in order to keep the doors open we need to fundraise.  This Sunday 21st June is Summer Solstice.  The James Stephens Army barracks and Teac Tom have created an event 'Step up for Teac Tom' from Dawn until Dusk.  We hope to reach 1 years worth of steps in 1 day - 3,650,000 steps.

We are encouraging you and your family and friends to walk or run 10,000 steps within the times from 5.05am until 9.57pm (Dawn until dusk) and you can do this from your own preferred location as there is no planned route due to the restrictions.

This is a global event so wherever you are in the world you can take part and support Teac Tom.  It's nice to know that our family and friends that are overseas can also take on the walk/run while feeling they are connected to home and supporting mental health/suicide prevention.

We ask people to take part in 'Step up for Teac Tom' and share their steps while making a donation on idonate - https://www.idonate.ie/StepupforTeacTom.  If people can upload a photo to the event page to show their support it would be great.

You can support the event on facebook  https://www.facebook.com/events/993209421134070/

People can also donate €4 by texting TOM to 50300

There are no costs involved for running this event so every penny that is raised will go directly to providing free counselling and support to the people that need it in our community.
