A host of incredible Irish acts will perform on Grafton Street from 2pm on Sat 10 Feb to fundraise for charity
If you’re going to be in Dublin this weekend, get yourself to Bewley’s Balcony on Grafton Street where Grow Mental Health will be hosting the ACTS of BIG LOVE concert, supported by MINI Ireland.
Crowds are in for a musical treat as acts including Luke Clerkin, Garron Noone, Rachel Hegarty, The Rugs, Dave McPhillips, Dave Whelan, with more to be added, will band together in support of this fantastic fundraising event.
Grow Mental Health is one of Ireland’s longest-standing Mental Health charities, supporting over 1,000 people in Ireland weekly. The charity, which was set up in 1969, is seeing an ever-increasing demand for support. Delivering a national network of peer-to-peer support groups in local communities and online, through a 12-Step Recovery and Growth program, the charity aims to ensure that anyone struggling with mental health challenges does not have to navigate those challenges alone. Instead, they can join a local support group and experience hope and recovery.
Sile Tracey, Marketing, Communications, and Fundraising Manager for Grow Mental Health said:
“We are grateful to all of the acts that are coming together to help us get this message out. We are proud of our community support network and this concert will raise our profile so that those who are struggling right now know that we are here for them.”
The ACTS of BIG LOVE concert aims to show love and appreciation to those who have dealt with and are still dealing with mental health struggles, along with the friends and family around them who have helped with the healing process from these challenges. It will be an opportunity for Grow Mental Health to raise vital funds to keep services going in a time that has seen unprecedented demand for its services.
Gareth Wright, Head of Sales & Marketing at MINI Ireland said: “BIG LOVE is the optimistic attitude to life and the feeling of being a part of something greater. It’s what drives our team forward and guides everything they do. It is the spirit of community that Grow Mental Health encapsulates that has driven us to partner with them.”
MINI’s main mission this Valentine’s Day is to ‘love people back to health’, reinforcing togetherness, as well as love, support, and kindness.
This concert is to create not only a love-filled atmosphere on one of Dublin’s busiest thoroughfares (Grafton Street), but also to encourage the Irish public to prioritise mental health and that every heart around them finds its rhythm, meaning no one needs to navigate mental health struggles alone.
