Hi everyone, I’m Ruchi Wadhwa, Project and Engagement Officer at Healthwatch Hammersmith & Fulham.

Suicide is a difficult but important conversation—we need to break the stigma, improve support, and ensure no one suffers in silence. That’s why I’m taking on Miles for MIND – Step Up for Suicide Prevention, a sponsored walk to raise awareness and funds for MIND, a charity providing life-saving mental health support.

At Healthwatch H&F, we work to amplify community voices and improve services. My team is currently researching the experiences of people accessing suicide prevention support. Through this work, we’ve seen firsthand how urgent this issue is—and we want to do more.

How You Can Help:

✅ Donate – Every contribution makes a difference.

✅ Share – Help spread the word.

✅ Join me – Walk with me and step up for mental health.

If you're from Hammersmith & Fulham and have experience with suicidal support services, we’d love to hear from you. Take part in our research and help shape better services: https://app.smartsurvey.co.uk/c/surveys/1642425/design
