You can be part of this movement of hope and healing by becoming a Friend of HUGG on Giving Tuesday.  
 
Friends of HUGG are a circle of loyal and generous donors who believe in our vision and mission, giving a minimum of €25 per month or €250 per year. To become a Friend of HUGG make your donation here or get in touch with Mary Anne our Donor Development & Partnerships Manager (maryanne@HUGG.ie) to talk about how you can support HUGG in 2025 and beyond. 

When you support HUGG, your donation goes further than hope and healing, it is helping us to provide a lifeline to people who are of greatest risk to suicide.

The support that HUGG provides is known as “postvention,” which is a form of suicide prevention. Postvention refers to activities that reduce risk and promote healing for people impacted after a suicide. Through being there for those who have lost someone to suicide, HUGG helps to reduce the heightened risk that the bereaved person may experience following a suicide – which it has been established is ten times higher than with the general population

At HUGG we deeply appreciate the generosity of our donors and hold ourselves to the highest standards of integrity and accountability. We recognise that each donation, gift, and bequest is a testament to the trust and support placed in our organisation, and we pledge to handle them with the utmost care and respect.
