This Friday 27th September is our second National Compliment Day, a now annual fundraising event dedicated to using the power of compliments for action so that no young person in Ireland feels alone, fearful or forgotten. Jigsaw recently conducted a poll which showed over 30% of the young people we spoke to have not received a single compliment in the last month

While our Annual Report, launched today, points to increased demand (up 7% on 2022) and a growth in the complexity of mental health presentations, it also tells the story of progress.

We are delighted to announce a three-year partnership with Marks & Spencer (M&S). This partnership aims to raise capacity, reach, and accessibility of the help available to young people across Ireland struggling with their mental health through a series of fundraising and awareness initiatives.

Jigsaw, the charity dedicated to supporting youth mental health, is thrilled to announce that it has been selected as the charity partner to Start Solar, the leading renewable energy specialist.

This exciting two-year collaboration aims to raise awareness and funds to support the vital mental health services that Jigsaw provides.

Colours Climb invites individuals to unite with their family, friends, classmates, club members, teammates, or colleagues in a collective effort to take on a walking or hiking challenge, all while wearing your favourite colour, uniform, or jersey.

Jigsaw were delighted to partner with Mind your Melon for the much-anticipated relaunch of their successful art competition and exhibition.

Young people from secondary schools and Youthreachs across Donegal collaborated to encourage young people to explore their mental health through art. From the 21 January to the 2 February, the entries were featured in public exhibition at An Grianan Theatre. A prize-giving event was then held to celebrate all the young people who took part in the competition.

We hope that you have a peaceful and safe Christmas break. 

If you or someone you know requires urgent care over the holidays, please get in touch with a service. You can find a list of available services here: https://jigsaw.ie/need-urgent-help/.

This is Jigsaw’s fourth win at the awards since 2016.
