Today is World Su***de Prevention Day 💛
If you’re worried someone might be thinking about su***de — say something, show you care, and don’t wait. Your support could save a life.

💔 Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland dies by su***de.
🧠 1 in 4 of us has experienced suicidal thoughts.

Let’s act today — because tomorrow could be too late.

💜 A Huge Thank you 💜

This year marks the 10th fundraiser in Stuart's memory, and we are so grateful to Jimmy and Donna for their unwavering support over the years. Stuart's legacy truly lives on through the generosity of everyone involved.

Thank you! 💜
