The Baton of Hope will be coming to Derbyshire on 13th September 2025!
This event will be a vital opportunity to raise awareness for suicide prevention. Residents of Derbyshire affected by suicide will carry the Baton along an iconic route through Derby, making key stops with a final ‘event’ in the city centre in the event.
Applications are open, and Baton of Hope Derby & Derbyshire are honoured to be hosting the Derbyshire/Derby leg on September 13, 2025. This promises to be a powerful day, bringing people together to spread hope, remembrance, and resilience.
