Laytown/Bettystown Darkness into Light 2023 searching for new volunteers

The Laytown Bettystown Darkness Into Light 2023 committee are calling for volunteers to assist them in the annual charity event taking place later this year.

Following on from a great first event in 2022 where over €28,600 was raised by people walking, running, swimming and kayaking, they say the hope is to emulate that success in 2023.

The Laytown/Bettystown Darkness Into Light Committee recently held The Meath County Launch of Darkness Into Light 2023 in Colaiste Na hInse, Bettystown on Thursday 9th March.

The wet weather didn't dampen spirits on what turned out to be a horrendous night weatherwise and the committee was delighted that Sinead and Nicola from Pieta along with Minister Thomas Byrne, Ged Nash TD, Cllr Sharon Tolan and local ambassador for DIL, actor Helen Behan were among the guests.

Visit the new Facebook page Laytown/Bettystown Darkness Into Light for info on this year’s event which takes place at 4.15am on Saturday 6 May.

Those interested in becoming a committee member or volunteer are asked to make contact via Facebook.
