Launch of the Remembrance Wall for those who have died by suicide
A Night of Reflection, Love, and Community
On Thursday 6 March, we hosted a deeply moving Launch Night for the Remembrance Wall, bringing together families, friends, and the wider community to honour those we have lost to suicide. This special evening was filled with reflection, remembrance, and a shared commitment to supporting one another through grief and healing.
Hosted by Downtown Radio Breakfast Show DJ, Declan Wilson, the event opened with heartfelt words from our care team management duo Eilish Craig & Roisin Linden. This was followed by 50to50 member Andrea Lowe, speaking about the Walk of Hope, before Garry Cullen from Glenwood Business Centre, our main funder, spoke about the positive effect of supporting our organisation is having on the community.
Local MLA, Sinn Feinn’s Paul Maskey, paid tribute to the hard work and dedication of our team, as they support mental health in West Belfast.
The unveiling of the ‘Remembrance Wall’ was a poignant moment, as loved ones placed photos, messages, and tokens of remembrance. This wall is more than a tribute; it is a sanctuary—a space where memories live on, where stories are told, and where no one feels alone in their grief.
Throughout the evening, there were opportunities for quiet reflection, peer support, and conversations about hope. The launch reaffirmed the importance of breaking the silence around suicide and creating a compassionate space where loss can be acknowledged and healing can begin.
We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who attended, to those who shared their stories, and to our funders and supporters who helped make this vision a reality.
