Location - Old man of coniston

Date: 5th October

Time: 12pm

Price: FREE ( We have chosen a charity of Dohertys Destiny so any donations you wish to give will all be going to this charity a little bit about In August 2016, 16 year old James Doherty was working as a lifeguard and awaiting his GCSE’s from Hodgson Academy on the day he took his life.

Since that day his mother Joanne & school mentor Aimee worked hard to establish ‘Dohertys Destiny’. The aim of the charity is to raise awareness of young people’s mental health issues and support people who have experienced the loss of a family member through suicide.)

DD has 2 parts to the charity:

1. A bereavement group for families of those who have lost someone to suicide

2. A mental health toolkit programme delivered in all local high schools for young people in local schools


You can make a donation by https://www.justgiving.com/dohertysdestiny

There will also be a bucket on the day for any people wanting to donate cash 🤍🙏🏼


Let’s come together, support each other, and remember those we’ve lost. 💚
