The North East of England had the highest suicide rate in 2022, 12.8 deaths per 100,000 people. That’s more than an extra 2 people every 100,000 compared to the national average of 10.7.

It’s a very scary fact to face.

On Friday, Will and I will be taking part in the Walk Into the Light, a midnight walk hosted by The Teesside Charity designed to raise money to support mental health charities right here on Teesside.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone 🧡
