Baton of Hope Derby and Derbyshire
As a local arm of the Baton of Hope, we promote transparency and openness so that discussion and conversation about suicide is “normalised”.

Our work in suicide prevention
At the Baton of Hope Derby and Derbyshire, we encourage the media to prioritise suicide in true relation to its magnitude as a societal issue. We utilise national messaging and support with local events while also supporting and working with businesses to embed suicide prevention within them, provide resources and skills. We are also a conduit to provide support and small grants to local mental health and suicide prevention charities.

Our motivation for joining the NSPA
Our motivation is through supporting the national Baton of Hope through our committee being made up of people bereaved by suicide or affected by suicide in some form. We all work together and are passionate about working a Zero-Suicide Society.

Our areas of expertise
Our areas of expertise include organising impactful events, enhancing workplace engagement strategies, supporting meaningful causes through charity initiatives, and providing comprehensive resources to drive success and positive change.
