Speak Their Name’ Suicide Awareness and Remembrance event

This event, led by the team behind the ‘Speak Their Name’ North East Suicide Memorial Quilt, will provide a space for connection and reflection and foster hope.

Speakers, including Sam Allen, Chief Executive of the Integrated Care Board (ICB) for the North East and North Cumbria Integrated Care System (ICS), will talk about the drive to address the mental health and suicide prevention agenda in the region. Also speaking will be the inspirational Andy Airey of 3 Dads Walking, a trio of suicide-bereaved fathers “raising suicide awareness across the country one step at a time”.

The evening will also include a candle procession for those who have lost loved ones and musical performances by the Ryton Singers.
