Together, we remember. Together, we prevent.
Lifeline Newcastle Hunter welcomes the community to walk on the 10th September in recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day. Join our Out of The Shadows Community Walk OR walk 9km anywhere, any time, for the 9 Australians lost to suicide every day.
Feel part of a community who are connected through their desire to advocate for suicide prevention in our local community this World Suicide Prevention Day.
We will walk together to remember loved ones and encourage Australians in crisis come out of the shadows and into the light, by showing there is a community that cares.
If you choose to fundraise for Lifeline Newcastle & Hunter, every dollar you raise helps to train more crisis supporters in the Hunter to answer calls that save lives.
