A number of Marketing Derby<\/a> Bondholders are set to host events to mark the arrival of the Baton of Hope to the city.<\/p>\n

As part of a UK wide tour, the Baton of Hope will be coming to Derby and Derbyshire on Saturday 13 September, carried by people who have been affected or bereaved by suicide.<\/p>\n

The baton will be carried along a dedicated route, making stops along its journey.<\/p>\n

The aim is to raise awareness and support those who are bereaved, affected by or passionate about suicide prevention.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Baton of Hope\u2019s mission is to encourage open conversations about mental health and suicide, with the aim of reducing stigma and instilling hope.<\/p>\n

Claire Goring, the Baton of Hope Derby\/Derbyshire organiser, whose father Rob took his own life, said: \u201cThe Baton of Hope Derby\/Derbyshire 2025 day brings together many organisations, which are working to support people with their mental health, and also to remember those they may have lost to suicide.\u201d<\/p>\n

Derby\u2019s will be the largest national event across the 2025 UK tour, with eight key event stops.<\/p>\n

The Derby route begins at 7am, commencing from Elvaston Castle and concluding at 6.30pm at Cathedral Green in Derby.<\/p>\n

The launch event at Elvaston Castle will include speeches from The High Sheriff of Derbyshire.<\/p>\n

Its stops will include the University of Derby<\/a>\u2019s Kedleston Road campus, Derbyshire County Cricket Club<\/a>, Derby County<\/a>\u2019s Pride Park Stadium and Alstom<\/a>\u2019s Litchurch Lane Works.<\/p>\n

Each stop will be hosting their own event centred around mental health.<\/p>\n

There will also be a special exhibition taking place inside Derby City Council<\/a>\u2019s Derby Market Hall.<\/p>\n

Exhibition of Hope showcases the work of local creatives, with a focus on the themes of hope, arts for health and wellbeing, alongside a colouring space for all ages to design a postcard of hope.<\/p>\n
