Spin for spunout

spin-for-spunout-thumbanail

Spin for spunout is a fun, inclusive, daytime sober party taking place across workplaces, schools, and third-level institutions in Ireland. Running from 10AM – 5 PM, the event raises funds and awareness for spunout, Ireland’s national youth charity supporting mental health and wellbeing through digital tools, resources, and 24/7 support services.

Think music, movement, energy, and connection – without the need for alcohol. Activities might include DJ sets, silent discos, spin bike challenges, dance battles, games, or simply a great party atmosphere with a powerful purpose.

  • Secondary schools and youth clubs looking for positive, mid-term engagement.

Why It Matters

spunout supports over 2 million young people annually with:

  • Free mental health support via text (24/7 service).
  • Trusted online health and wellbeing information.
  • Practical guidance on issues like housing, education, and relationships.
  • Peer stories, digital learning, and personalised support tools.

spin for spunout raises vital funds to keep these services free, accessible, and youth-centred. It also promotes safe, sober fun and helps break down stigma around mental health.

We know these are challenging times, but every single euro raised through Spin for spunout helps us reach more young people with life-changing support. Whether it’s funding a mental health conversation through Text About It, delivering free digital training on spunout academy, or simply being a trusted source of information when someone’s feeling lost – your support powers it all. No donation is too small, and no playlist is too cheesy – what matters is showing up, spinning some joy, and helping us build a kinder, safer world for the next generation.

Thank you for making youth mental health part of your mission. Together, we can make something truly powerful happen.

If it matters to you, it matters to us.
