10 years without this beautiful girl. 3 years raising awareness The Big Fandango there is still stigma, resistence to change and a lack of understanding but we keep going, we have to. I will keep her light shining forever. Stand with us on the 10th and help us make a difference

People in #suicide crisis are “too scared, too exhausted, too emotionally broken, to ‘reach out’… …We need to stop telling people in crisis to ‘reach out’ because they can’t. We need to reach in”. Wise #LivedExperience words from Rebecca Jackson The Big Fandango linkedin.com/posts/paulvitt…

As a teenager I remember hearing the amazing voice of Marianne Faithful on The Ballad of Lucy Jordan and being transfixed! Sad news ❤️ youtu.be/u1CgCNXHJyU?si…

This is heartbreaking & there are so many similarities with the loss of my own daughter to suicide, not just due to cost cuts but sheer negligence. The incidence of suicide amongst autistic teens is high yet this was dismissed by our daughters CAMHS team . Lack of training !

So grateful for the constant support we have had from Bury Samaritans . Collaboration is the key to suicide prevention in supporting communities!!
