What is FeelGood with Pieta?
FeelGood with Pieta is a nationwide initiative encouraging companies, individuals, clubs, community groups and anyone who can, to join our Digital Relay or Distance Challenge or host a FeelGood event.
I would like to host an event, but the type of event I had in mind isn't on your website. What should I do?
If you have a fun and creative idea on how to make yourself and you colleagues feel good this Christmas, you can very easily create your own event. On the homepage, next to the "Christmas Jumper" and "Christmas Dash" events, there is a Create Your Own option.
I'd like to donate, but unfortunately I cannot host an event. What should I do?
You can donate directly to FeelGood on the homepage, by clicking the orange "Donate" button in the top right hand corner of the page. Thank you so much for supporting the work of Pieta through this campaign. It may not be the only gift you give this Christmas but it may well be the only that helps save a life.
I'd like to donate to my own page - can I do this?
Yes - when you register your event you will be given the option to 'kickstart' your fundraising page. You can donate at this point, or if you have already set up your page, you can donate at any stage after you've registered.
My colleagues have set up a page - how do I donate to they're page?
You can use the search function on the homepage by searching your colleagues' event or the organisation name in the "Find a Friend" search box.
I'd like to support this initiative, but I'm not in a position to donate myself. Can I still take part?
FeelGood with Pieta is about encouraging people to do something this Christmas that makes them feel good. We understand that not everyone is in a position to donate and we do not want that to stop people getting involved in this campaign. You can still host an event and by sharing what you're doing on social media, you might even inspire somebody else to host their own event.
Where will the raised funds raised from this initiative go to?
All funds raised through our FeelGood with Pieta this Christmas will go towards providing our free of charge, life saving services to those who are feeling suicidal, those who have been bereaved by suicide, and those who are self-harming. Please visit our "About" page to see the breakdown of the costs of some of these services.
Since I began working from home, I've felt disconnected from my work colleagues. Is there any way of creating team events to try and help us reconnect?
Absolutely! When you register your event, you can create a team and invite others to join in. Why not get some teams together and challenge each other to a digital relay race? Or all work together to reach a team goal. If you have any problems with creating your team, please email us at info@feelgoodwithpieta.ie
Best of luck!
I'm having difficulty creating my event - what should I do?
You can email info@feelgoodwithpieta.ie and we can help talk you through any problems you might be experiencing
I'd like to link my own fitness tracking software to my event. Can I do this?
Yes you can! If you have a FitBit or Strava account, you can link these up to your FeelGood event and take the hassel out of logging your activity. There is an option on your Dashboard to link these.
I plan on hosting a FeelGood event and I know people will bring cash to donate rather than online. How do I donate cash?

I'd like to host an event, but I cannot do this during the month of July. Can I still host a FeelGood event after this date?
Yes of course. we endoveur to help people to feel good all year round, so while the events might change at different times of the year you can always check back here for more information.

How do I create a team?
During the registration flow, on the third step you can create a team. You can set a team name, fundraising target and decide whether you want your team to be public or private. If you're already registered you can still create a team from within your dashboard.
How do I join a team?
You can join a public team by clicking on the "Join us" button on the teams fundraising page. If the team is set to private you will need to ask the team captain to send you an invite.
How do I invite family and friends to take part?
When you create your own registration and fundraising profile you’ll have the opportunity to invite family and friends to take part as part of that registration process. If you’re already signed up, you can still invite others from your dashboard once you’ve logged in.
Please note that all invited adults will need to complete their own registration using the unique link sent directly to their email address.
