Baton of Hope is a national movement to prevent suicide and save lives through proactive change. Our purpose is to bring hope and change to the world because no one deserves to die by suicide.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In January 2020 I lost my daughter, Melina Louise Bushell, to suicide. Melina was studying at Leeds University at the time, and her struggles with mental health were not known to us.

The news came as a complete shock and had a profound impact for all our family.

Since then, I have worked to raise awareness for suicide prevention, encouraging those struggling with their own issues to talk with family and friends and discussing my own struggles in dealing with loss.

The Baton Of Hope is making great steps in addressing a nationwide issue. Any contribution you are able to make will be very much appreciated.
