Essex Cricket are supporting the Creating Hope Through Light campaign, a week-long event that hopes to raise awareness of suicide prevention.
On Tuesday 07 December, The Cloudfm County Ground will be lit up green and open between 4pm – 9pm as a place for people to come and take a moment to reflect on what has been a tough 18 months.
The Creating Hope Through Light campaign is a joint initiative from Mid and South Essex Health Care Partnership and Thurrock and Brentwood Mind and is part of their #LetsTalkAboutSuicideEssex movement. It aims at reducing the stigma around talking about suicide and encourages people to take the free online suicide prevention training, which can be done by clicking here.
