Baton of Hope
I was watching the morning news today and an article came on about the Baton of Hope. A campaign about raising awareness regarding suicide.
The Baton of Hope is a beautiful baton created out of a variety of metal to represent the subject of suicide and promote hope for those who are suffering or have suffered.
Sadly suicide happens more often than we realise, people feeling there is no way out. There is, and many organisations provide help and support for those who are struggling and in desperate need. (I am aware of Papyrus and Samaritans). The Baton of Hope is helping to raise awareness about these struggles and to give hope that anyone can survive.
From June 2023, the Baton of Hope, will go on a tour of the UK. Starting in Glasgow travelling across the country to arrive in London by July 2023.
