ONE LOCAL bar will be doing its bit for mental health this weekend when they host a special BBQ for the Cycle Against Suicide campaign this Sunday May 3.

The Abbey Inn will be holding its ‘Big Orange BBQ’ in aid of the the campaign and it is encouraged that as many people come down to the event as possible.

The event will be kicking off at 6pm on Sunday evening where there will be live music, food and a DJ and late bar on offer later in the night.

It hopes to promote the message of the campaign that sometimes ‘It’s okay to not be okay and that you can ask for help.’

The main objective of the Cycle is to raise awareness of the considerable help and supports that are available for anyone battling depression, self harm, at risk of suicide or those bereaved by suicide. It will continue until May 10.

The cyclists will be coming into Tralee at Mercy Mounthawk Secondary School on Sunday, May 3 at 5pm.

All information on the cycle can be found on its website here.
