A Lust for Life is an award winning Irish wellbeing movement created to transform how we talk about and treat mental health. A Lust for Life is a registered charity. Registered Charity Number is 20157913. CHY Number is 21993.
Our Vision is world where the wellbeing of humanity is the headliner on the main stage, and everything else is a support act.
Our Mission and enduring purpose is to:
- Support, inspire and empower people to take care of their own minds
- Change societal norms around mental health, humanising the conversation
- Change societal infrastructure, so that we always catch people when they fall
What do we do?
Our approach is based on 4 key principles:
- CAMPAIGNS – powerful national campaigns which focus on tenaciously driving social change in key areas of mental wellness
- INTELLIGENT VOICE – responding to issues pertaining to mental wellness as they emerge in society and in particular the media.
- INNOVATION – incubating new ideas to drive social change – which may ultimately evolve into new campaigns
- INTERVENTION – while we are clear on the focused campaigns we will drive there are a series of important issues/interventions in which we will continue to engage with on an ongoing basis
We use a combination of each of the following four channels in all of our activity:
- Our WEBSITE and its content has helped educate, uplift, support and empower millions of people since our launch by normalising the conversation around mental health and wellbeing.
- Our ADVOCACY work has allowed us to engage and communicate at a policy influencing level, working closely with our allies and advisors in the mental health community, joining the dots and helping to facilitate much needed change.
- Our MEDIA partnerships have been vital to help us influence culture change creating greater awareness of the issues and magnifying stories that need to be heard.
- Over 15,000 people have taken part in our EVENTS which have nurtured strong communities, cultivated compassion and solidarity all throughout Ireland.

THe Little Book of Sound
Update posted by A Lust For Life at 02:10 pmAs some of you know, a couple of months ago the A Lust for Life crew ran a fairly whopper campaign called #SoundEffect in partnership with Pieta House. As part of that campaign we created a beauty of a little book called The Little Book of Sound. It’s a pocket. . . . .
Campaign up and running

Hello, My name is Urtzi and I write you from San Sebastian, Basque Country, north of Spain. Going through difficult times, It's been helpful for me reading some of the articles you have publised and seeing the work you are doing, Thank you for that. Best regards. Urtzi

The Sound Effect campaign with Pieta House was so lovely as it helped promote kindness as a tangible thing to be able to share online and it highlighted just how sound our little island is. This donation may or may not be a bribe so you repeat it again next year ;)
