FreeSunday 10th September is World Suicide Prevention Day, We are inviting Everyone to the Macedon Ranges Suicide Prevention Walk with the continued theme Creating Hope Through Action -We all have a role to play.
As our community continues to be impacted by suicide, Macedon Ranges Suicide Prevention Action Group believes we can all play a role in supporting people with mental ill-health, suicide ideation and those who are bereaved.
This is a pet-friendly event, with music, speeches, and a walk of the Woodend township and beautiful 5 Mile Creek (approx.4 kms), before returning to the park where coffee and food will be available.

show support for each other as a community.
