Yorkshire Speak Their Name Suicide Memorial Quilt

A project to ensure that those lost to suicide are talked about and to raise awareness for suicide prevention.

Karen Sykes, Head of Nursing for Safeguarding at LTHT and colleague Richard Gibson, Trust Risk Manager have both been bereaved to suicide. Karen lost her husband Ian in 2015 then her daughter Beth in 2019, and Richard and his wife Debi lost their son Leo.

Karen has helped lead the Yorkshire version of a project that originated in Manchester, helping raise awareness in suicide prevention and supporting those bereaved to suicide, which includes our wider Trust community. After 12 months of hard work, the quilt has been revealed, each square created in memory of someone loved and who has died to suicide.

The film has been created by the Yorkshire Speak Their Name group and was filmed by Scott Coulthard. www.yorkshirespeaktheirname.co.uk
