Government increases funding of Pieta House by an extra €114,608 a month

The charity's fundraising model has been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

Pieta House is to receive an extra €114,608 a month in funding once current Covid-19 wage subsidy schemes have finished.

The mental health charity's funding has been badly hit by the Covid-19 pandemic similar to other charities in the sector and has led to an overall budget shortfall of more than €6.5m for the charity.
