NO FEE FOR REPRODUCTION
The Power of Hope: People from Derry-Londonderry at the Darkness Into Light event in the city along the banks of the River Foyle and across the iconic Peace Bridge. Thousands of people across 202 locations worldwide walked together in hope at this year’s Darkness Into Light, proudly supported by Electric Ireland to spread hope and raise vital funds for those affected by suicide and self-harm.Twelve of the venues were in Northern Ireland spanning the six counties and forming a worldwide invisible chain of hope that stretches from Crossmaglen to Christchurch and from Ormeau Park to Ottawa. The number of venues is up in Northern Ireland this year from nine to 12 demonstrating clearly the importance and value people place on the opportunity to come together in solidarity and hope to raise awareness of and destigmatise suicide.
