As part of the legacy of Sycamore Gap, we’re launching our ‘Trees of Hope’. 49 saplings – one to represent each foot of the height that the tree was at the time of felling, will be gifted to communities around the UK. You can find out more and apply for a tree on our website: https://t.co/L2zJ5LMEfH
All 15 UK National Parks will also receive a sapling that will find new homes in some of the most beautiful landscapes in the UK.

Yesterday we were joined by people from across the region for our annual Walk of Light event 🌄
The Walk of Light is there to remind those who have experienced the devastating impact of suicide, and those who struggle with their own suicidal thoughts, that there is always hope.
