🔥 🏆 We’re delighted to share that PsyCare Ireland: Welfare and Harm Reduction CLG has won the Mental Health & Wellbeing award at the National Social Enterprise Awards 2026.


This recognition belongs to the people who make PsyCare what it is: our volunteers.


Thank you to every person who has given their time, care and energy to support people at festivals, events and in our communities.


Since 2022, our community has supported 2,371 people across 42 events. That work is built on compassion, teamwork and the belief that everyone deserves care when they need it.


Whether you’re on the frontline, helping behind the scenes, or supporting the team in another way, your contribution matters.


Thank you to everyone who volunteers across PsyCare: our Service Leaders and Team Leaders; Logistics, Finance and Decor teams; Volunteer Engagement Team, Volunteer Managers, Wellbeing Team and Volunteer Integration Team; our Social Media, NITE Programme Facilitation and Design teams; and all our advisors and supporters who back us.


A special thank you to our board, Declan Hammond, Liam O’Dwyer, Deirdre Mullins, Kathryn Ledden, and Christopher Connors for their commitment and support.


And a huge thank you to Paul Kinsella, our COO, for everything he does for PsyCare and the people we support.


Further thanks to all the events, sponsors, donors and partners who believe in what we do! We’re so proud of what this we've built together, and grateful to see its work recognised. A heartfelt thank-you to Minister Jerry Buttimer and Dr. Clodagh O'Reilly, to Community Finance Ireland for sponsoring the awards, and to the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Gaeltacht, the Local Development Companies Network, the Irish Social Enterprise Network, The Wheel and Social Enterprise Republic of Ireland for making the awards possible.



If you believe in this work, or have been affected by distress in nightlife or at events, we’d love to hear from you. Get in touch with PsyCare Ireland if you’d like to support our work.



This award is for all of you. đź’š
