The Grand Tour will visit Tullamore this afternoon
In a powerful display of community spirit for youth mental health, approximately 40 dedicated motorcyclists are set to arrive in Offaly today, Friday, June 13, at approximately 2pm.
They're part of a nationwide tour, called the Grand Tour, to raise crucial funds and awareness for Jigsaw, the National Centre for Youth Mental Health.
These motorcyclists are visiting all 14 Jigsaw services across Ireland over a few days. Their stop in Laois/Offaly at Jigsaw Tullamore service (Cormac Street, Tullamore, R35 XH74) is a key moment in their mission.
This initiative is led by Damian Sheridan, whose personal commitment drives the effort to ensure young people across Ireland get the mental health support they need. The Grand Tour 2025 is also made possible thanks to the generous support of main sponsors Joe Duffy BMW and Carole Nash Ireland, offering a unique chance to highlight a vital cause.
Jigsaw's work really makes a difference right here in the Laois/ Offaly area. In 2024, Jigsaw's local service offered over 2,891 appointments to young people seeking mental health support. This crucial work relies on the generosity of supporters, fundraisers like Damian and his fellow riders, and our valued sponsors.

Jigsaw offers free, confidential, and vital mental health advice and support to young people aged 12-25, their families, and those who work with them, both online and at their services nationwide. Demand for Jigsaw's services continues to grow, making fundraising efforts like The Grand Tour 2025 more critical than ever.
