Walking for Hope: HSRS Joins the Fight Against Suicide with PAPYRUS
On October 10, 2024, Peter Williams and Michael Hinton proudly joined the HOPEWALK in Swindon for World Mental Health Day, raising awareness for suicide prevention.
Michael initiated conversations with
PAPYRUS, our office neighbors, after seeing the HOPEWALK advertised, and it was great to see these efforts come to life. Last week, Alex from PAPYRUS presented at our Quarterly Brief, sharing their story, offering training, and discussing volunteer opportunities.
Peter reflected on his personal experience, saying, "Having recently experienced the loss of someone very dear to me to suicide, I was keen to do something that could help others. The HOPEWALK with PAPYRUS has given me that first opportunity, joining other members of our community and spreading awareness of a great organization that provides incredible support. Moving forward, I am very keen to complete the training courses available to better equip myself to support people who are struggling or in need of empathy, compassion, or just someone to talk to."
Michael added, "Breaking the stigma and getting people talking about how they feel is crucial. Working with PAPYRUS has been easy—they’ve been so open and available for questions at a moment's notice."
The entire HSRS team stands with PAPYRUS in their mission to prevent young suicides. If you or someone you know needs support, PAPYRUS’s HOPELINE247 advisers are available 24/7. Call 0800 068 4141, text 88247, or email
