Humbled today at #PMQs to be able to raise the issue of young suicide on behalf of the @3dadswalking Andy, Tim and Mike. So pleased that the PM @RishiSunak has agreed to meet with me & the 3 Dads to discuss putting suicide awareness & prevention into educational settings.

Today we reveal the final design for the Baton of Hope - symbol of a movement to reverse the suicide crisis in the UK. It’s time to unite. It’s time to talk. It’s time to challenge this silent crisis. The Baton is coming…please pass it on.
