00:25the baton of hope across hastings today and each and every one is carrying them that for their own

00:31personal reasons in memory of somebody that's lost a suicide or in recognition of their own

00:36personal journey so the campaign is all about raising awareness um and prevention linking

00:43signposting and encouraging open and honest conversations and trying to tackle some of

00:48the stigma around having those conversations and about being able to say i this i do feel this

00:55bleak i do feel this low and somebody being able to receive that and not being too frightened to carry

01:01that conversation on and being able to support that person and know where to signpost them to

01:06and ultimately it's all about hope it's about hope that there is another way that we are here and

01:11today we're saying that hastings really cares and we want to say you know there is hope there is love

01:17and and we can all support each other to tackle this really insidious and and the horrible you know
