The Yorkshire ‘Speak Their Name’ Quilt will be launched at Millennium Square – a venue change from that previously arranged – on Saturday September 10 to coincide with the annual global awareness-raising day.

The quilt has been made up of individual squares designed by those who have been bereaved by suicide in Yorkshire, with each square representing the unique memories of the person who died.

The unveiling will take place at 11am and the event will include stalls, live music and refreshments until 4pm.

All are welcome to attend.
