Raising The Baton: A Manifesto For Hope (Documentary Screening)

Forged through tragedy, fuelled by Hope. This is the story of how one small charity managed to defy the naysayers to tackle head-on the highly stigmatised subject of suicide.

For generations it has been overlooked and even ignored despite being the UK’s biggest killer of men under 50 and women under 35.

How did one fledgling charity manage to organise the biggest suicide prevention initiative the country has ever seen? How did they create the world’s only physical symbol of mental well-being? And what happened when they took that symbol to the streets of our nation?”

Come along for the North’s first public screening of Raising the Baton. A Manifesto for Hope at Sheffield’s Millenium Gallery on Thursday 17th April. The one-hour event will include a Q & A session with a panel from the Baton of Hope UK suicide prevention charity.
