Darkness Into Light

Ballinamore Community School is proud to once again host the annual Darkness Into Light Walk. While the event is organised by the school, it is a whole-community occasion, open to all. The walk takes place at 4.15am on Saturday 10th May 2025 starting and finishing at the school. Together, we walk 5km towards the sunrise to show our support for everyone in our community who is affected by mental health challenges. This powerful event reminds us that there is hope, help, and light even in the darkest moments. Register now at: www.darknessintolight.ie
