About
The national Baton of Hope 2025 has begun and excitement is gearing up for the baton’s arrival in the Bay on Tuesday 30 September after setting off from Blackpool.
The relay, which raises awareness of the impact of suicide, will go through Torquay, Paignton and Brixham.
One hundred baton bearers – most of whom have all been impacted by suicide in some way – will take part in the walking relay.
Torbay is the only South West location for this relay event and there are lots of ways for residents to get involved.
Organisers the Torbay Suicide Prevention Partnership, of which Torbay Council is a member, hope that crowds will line the streets to cheer on the baton bearers.
The relay starts at 8am at Princess Gardens, which will have a live tour screen for people to watch the full Torbay walking route.
There will be wellbeing events and activities taking place throughout the day in Paignton and Brixham too.
At the end of the day, the BIG Show of Hope gala fundraiser takes place at the Riviera International Centre featuring comedian Hal Cruttenden, Teignmouth born X-Factor finalist Luke Friend and cabaret compere Ada Campe.
The evening promises a night of comedy, magic, music and, most importantly, hope.
Each ticket bought enters you into a raffle for a chance to win top-quality prizes and all profits go to the Torbay Suicide Prevention Legacy Fund.
