Colours Climb

This April and May, we want you to team up with your family, club, school, college, or workplace for our Colours Climb, backed by Gaelforce Events. It’s not just a fantastic group hike but also a crucial fundraiser for supporting youth mental health.

We know good relationships are important for our happiness and mental health. Gather your friends, put on your walking gear, wear your team, school, or club colours, and explore the Irish countryside while raising much-needed funds for Jigsaw.

 

Challenge yourself for youth mental health

Take on the Colours Climb challenge in your community. Keep it simple with a step challenge or a walk around the neighbourhood.

If you're feeling adventurous, take it on the road and hit the trails!

Frequently Asked Questions



  • What is the Colours Climb?

     

    The Colours Climb, proudly supported by Gaelforce Events, is our group walking/hiking fundraising campaign.  

     

    Jigsaw are inviting you to come together with your club, school, college, or workplace and take on a walking or hiking challenge while rocking your favourite colour, uniform, or jersey.  All funds raised will go to Jigsaw to support our critical work with young people. 



  • When is the Colours Climb?

     

    You can take on this challenge any time between now and the end of May. 



  • How much does the Colours Climb cost?

     

    It is free to register for the Colours Climb.  All we ask is that help support Jigsaw and the critical work that we do with young people, by fundraising.     

     

    Mental health supports are more important now than ever. Jigsaw needs vital funds to ensure that the ever-changing and complex challenges facing young people in Ireland are met by the continued growth and development of Jigsaw supports.   

     

    With that goal in mind, participants are asked to raise a minimum of €100 or as much as they are able.
