Suicide is the biggest killer of men and women under 35 in the UK. Seventeen people die by suicide every day in the UK. More people die by suicide than in road traffic accidents, cancer. Most suicides are preventable right up until the last moment.
At the end of June 2022, the BatonOfHopeUK was announced on BBC Breakfast News https://youtu.be/lvBLJipSdj0 as the UK’s biggest ever suicide awareness and prevention initiative, touring all 4 nations between June 25th and July 8th 2023.
Between now and next summer's tour of the Baton, we are looking to speak with individuals and organisations to act as ambassadors, regional champions, national partners and supporters for the #BatonOfHopeUK 2023.
The BatonOfHopeUK is a not-for-profit organisation. Its primary purpose is to help us move toward a zero suicide society by opening up the conversation and raising awareness and encouraging appropriate action.
Our aim is to seek to change the conversation around suicide, smash the stigma, highlight existing support and leave a lasting legacy of practical improvements in the field of suicide prevention.
Do you share our vision and ambition? Would you like to be an important part of the #BatonOfHopeUK?
Could you help spread the word or perhaps help coordinate regional activities? Are there other ways you’re already thinking about, where you could help us make this the nation’s biggest suicide prevention campaign ever? Do you have particular skills, knowledge, contacts, etc that you think might be especially relevant? Together we can bring about real change.
During the next few months, we will be holding a series of presentations, outlining our plans and sending out invitations to those who would like to take part.
