💚 Today is ‘World Su***de Prevention Day’ 💚

The Samaritans have created a powerful video along with some really useful information and resources to learn more about how together we can make a difference.

The video takes two minutes to watch and will show you how the smallest conversation or gesture really can save a life.

The link is below ⬇️

✨ Thank you ✨

Every year, on 10 September, organisations around the world get together to raise awareness about su***de prevention.

🚶‍♂️ Walking, Talking & Looking Out for Each Other in Haverhill 🚶‍♂️

Across our town, we’re lucky to have some incredible community groups making a real difference to people’s lives – for men, women, and young people alike – and I’m always grateful for the work they do. Today, I want to shine a light on one that’s new to me: MenWalkTalk.

This group was just brought to my attention and I cannot stress enough how much I value initiatives like this. For many men, feelings of isolation and loneliness can quietly build up. Often, they try to deal with things alone – bottling up thoughts and carrying the weight without telling anyone. For many, it’s a reality that can affect mental health and wellbeing more than we realise.

That’s why community initiatives like MenWalkTalk are so valuable. They create a relaxed, welcoming space where men can simply walk side by side, share what’s on their minds if they wish – or just enjoy the fresh air and good company in silence. Sometimes, just knowing you’re not alone can make all the difference.

Next Haverhill Walk:
📅 Friday 30th August 2025
🕙 10:00am
📍 East Town Park, Coupals Road, CB9 7UW (Meet outside the Visitor Centre)

I certainly wish this new group every success in establishing itself.

It says that there’s no booking, no cost – just turn up and join in. Whether you want to share what’s on your mind or simply enjoy good company, you’ll be made very welcome.
