The Walk of Light is an annual event hosted by If U Care Share Foundation to bring together those affected by suicide.
Starting at Sainsbury's at the Team Valley, we walk together in darkness at 5am arriving at The Angel of the North just before sunrise. Whilst at the angel we have an opportunity to share together and remember those who we have loved and lost. There's an opportunity to write messages for a loved one and light candles in memory and time for reflection.
If U Care Share Foundation is a local charity with three main aims: Suicide prevention, intervention and support for those affected by suicide. To date we have worked with over 23,000 young people and supported a further 1800 families who have been bereaved by suicide.
