Melanie Hall, Head of Service for the Primary and Community Mental Health Service, and our Chair, Colin Beresford, attended the Baton of Hope event in Sheffield which raised awareness of suicide and campaigned for better prevention services. Melanie spoke movingly about her family’s own experience of suicide.

The Baton of Hope set off from Glasgow on a journey through towns and cities across the UK and will eventually end up at Downing Street on the 6th July. Mel and Colin took part in the Sheffield leg of the journey where seventy-five specially selected Baton Bearers covered nineteen kilometres of the City.
