Our Street Fundraisers  

Our Street Fundraisers work across County Meath and Dublin to raise awareness and much needed funds for our free therapy and support services for children and young people struggling with their mental health. 

Meet Our Fundraisers

Helping more young people access mental health support they need and deserve.

From Monday 12 October, you may meet members of the Jigsaw fundraising team in Co Meath and across Dublin City and County.

Our fundraisers are speaking with members of the public about the growing need for youth mental health support and inviting people to become monthly donors. By signing up to support Jigsaw regularly, you can help ensure that more young people and families have access to free, confidential and non-judgemental therapy and support services, when and where they need it most.

At Jigsaw, we believe every young person deserves the support they need to achieve better mental health and wellbeing. Thanks to the generosity of our monthly supporters, we can continue to provide free therapy for young people (aged 12 to 25), support to parent, families and communities, and work to create an Ireland where every young person’s mental health is valued, supported and prioritised.

Why are we fundraising? 

Demand for youth mental health support continues to grow. 

Every day, thousands of children and young people across Ireland are struggling with their mental health, including anxiety, feeling overwhelmed, isolation and relationship difficulties. Jigsaw is here to listen, to provide free, accessible support and to help young people navigate challenges they face and to help them thrive. 

Regular monthly gifts are particularly important because they provide reliable funding that helps us plan ahead and continue delivering support where it is needed most. 

Because of people like you, Jigsaw can be there to listen when it is needed most.
