Our Events: Celebrating Hope and Working Towards A Zero-Suicide Society

Our events spark conversations, bring communities together and move hope from words into action. Aside from national Tours, we have hosted powerful gatherings – from conferences to open up the conversation about suicide prevention and awareness, to exclusive documentary screenings highlighting the work that The Baton of Hope is doing.

Every event we host is designed to challenge the stigma around suicide, inspire change and save lives. When we show up for each other, hope becomes something real, something we can see, feel, and carry forward.

Upcoming Events

We’re working behind the scenes to shape our next events. New dates, new places, and new opportunities to get involved are on the way and we’d love you to be part of them. Join our mailing list and be the first to hear about our next event.

Exclusive Documentary Screening

On Thursday 17th April 2025 at the Millennium Gallery in Sheffield, we hosted an exclusive screening of The Baton of Hope’s documentary: Raising The Baton: A Manifesto for Hope. The documentary tells more about our story and how the UK’s biggest suicide prevention initiative managed to defy the naysayers to tackle head-on the highly stigmatised subject of suicide. After the screening, individuals from The Baton of Hope took part in a Q&A panel session.
