Organisation Details
The Baton of Hope is the UK’s largest suicide prevention initiative and aspires to a zero-suicide society. To name a few of the different ways Baton of Hope works towards suicide prevention, they provide training and advice on best practise suicide prevention in the workplace, positively challenge the UK Government and public bodies to aim higher on suicide prevention and connect and collaborate with other organisations with similar values and aims. Following the huge success of their nationwide tour in 2023, they are putting on another tour this year. In September their anticipated UK baton tour is coming to Bradford.
