Baton of Hope – Monday 1 September

Standing with the Baton of Hope

On Monday 1st September, the Baton of Hope Tour 2025 will begin its journey in Blackpool, marking the start of the UK’s largest suicide prevention initiative.

The Baton of Hope is a powerful symbol of remembrance, resilience and change. Carried through 20 towns and cities across the UK, it shines a light on the importance of open conversations, breaking down stigma, and offering hope to those who need it most.

At EPiC HOPE, we are proud to stand alongside this movement, showing our support as the baton begins its journey. We believe in its message: that together, we can create communities where suicide is prevented, lives are valued, and hope is carried forward.
