HOPEWALK 2018

HOPEWALK is a month of walks taking place across the UK in October, organised by you with help from us.

Your walk can be around your park, along your favourite countryside trail, or even just around the block and you can have as many or as few people join as you like. Some people choose to walk in memory of a loved one, others choose to walk to fundraise and raise awareness. You can choose to use your HOPEWALK to raise funds, but you don’t have to – our aim is to get the conversation around suicide started, in order to #SmashTheStigma.
