• If you’re planning to join, please let me know ASAP, as I can add you to a messenger groups for important updates as well as through this page.

• Please note, this isn’t a guided walk, and participants must handle their own bookings, logistics, and self-care.

💖 Fundraising for Papyrus:

This year, we’re raising funds for the Papyrus Hopeline, a vital 24-hour phoneline supporting young people in crisis and those struggling with suicidal thoughts in their darkest hours. Your support will help Papyrus continue to provide life-saving help to those in need. 💚

🦸‍♀️ Superhero Attire:

Feel free to wear superhero gear to make it more fun, but it’s totally optional! 🦸‍♂️

This is going to be a fun yet challenging event, and even if you can’t join the hikes, you’re welcome to join us for the evening celebrations. 🎉

Important Notes:

• A more detailed route and evening celebrations info will be shared soon!

• Deadline for submitting photos for the flag in memory of a lost loved one to suicide is 25th April. If you’d like to include a duck for the bath (with a personal message), send it to me by 16th May.

Let’s raise funds, have fun, and honour the memory of those we’ve lost. Hope to see you there! 💚

FULL STORY of PAPYRUS HOPELINE

For the first time in their 28-year history, PAPYRUS is launching an emergency appeal to keep HOPELINE247 running through the night. Without urgent support, they may have to make the devastating decision to cut back their services.

Every three minutes, a young person in distress reaches out to HOPELINE247, PAPYRUS' suicide prevention helpline. These calls, texts, and messages come during their darkest hours—often in the middle of the night, when other services aren’t available to them.

Since extending HOPELINE247 to operate 24/7 last year, demand has surged. In 2024 alone, PAPYRUS had 12,000 life-saving interactions during the night and saw a 66% increase in the number of young people seeking help through the webchat service. HOPELINE247 is vital and life saving but rising costs and a sharp drop in donations across the charity sector have brought them to a critical moment and I want to help.

Please donate to support PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide.

Thank you
