Walk With Us

You can still walk with us

We know there are many who remain loyal participants of these walks since 2012 as advocates for suicide prevention, people with lived experience and those who have lost someone to suicide. Dependant on restrictions in your area you may have to walk virtually rather than face to face.

We can still come together on a designated time and day for Out of the Shadows whilst maintaining social distancing.
