Walk for Lifeline Hunter

Walk with Us. Shine a Light. Save Lives.

This September, Lifeline Newcastle & Hunter invites you to take part in the Out of the Shadows Walk 2025—a powerful community event held in recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day.

Every day in Australia, we lose 9 lives to suicide. To honour them, we walk 9 kilometres—one for each life lost. While World Suicide Prevention Day is officially on September 10, you’re encouraged to walk anytime, anywhere that works for you OR join our community walk at Dixon Park Beach, see details below.

Join a movement of hope, remembrance, and action. Whether you walk alone, with friends, or as part of a team, you’ll be standing with a community united in the fight to prevent suicide.

Your steps—and your support—can save lives. Every dollar you raise helps Lifeline provide critical, life-saving support to those in crisis. And when you raise $39 or more, you’ll receive a free Out of the Shadows t-shirt to wear proudly as a symbol of your advocacy.

Together, we can bring suicide out of the shadows and into the light.

ANNOUNCEMENT! Community walk in Newcastle

We are excited to share that we will once again be hosting a Newcastle Community Walk.

Feel part of a community who are connected through their desire to advocate for suicide prevention in our local community this World Suicide Prevention Day.

We will walk together to remember loved ones and encourage Australians in crisis come out of the shadows and into the light, by showing there is a community that cares.

If you choose to fundraise for Lifeline Newcastle & Hunter, every dollar you raise helps to train more crisis supporters in the Hunter to answer calls that save lives.

I'm donating because I know how it feels to be suicidal, & also how it feels to have someone close to me die by suicide. No one should have to feel this way. I applaud you & this goal!
