In November 2021 our beautiful daughter Lucy sadly decided that this world was too much for her and tragically took her own life at just 17 years old. She was the most incredible, caring, funny, sensitive, talented star and an amazing swimmer – with butterfly being her speciality stroke. Our kind-hearted girl, a wonderful big sister and an affectionate granddaughter has left an unimaginable hole in all our hearts forever. We know that Lucy would want us to do all we could to prevent this tragedy happening to other young people and their families and so we begin our journey of change….

The need to focus on something positive drives us forward and so Lucy’s Wings of Hope was born. The aim is to bring awareness around the biggest killer in young people. We honestly believe that if every young person who is struggling with their mental health and thoughts of suicide was more aware of the amazing help that is out there, then many of these unnecessary young deaths could be prevented.

As a way to spread awareness for the support that is available, we have created some keyrings which we hand out at various events, schools, universities etc . We hope this is a simple and attractive way to get the information out without it being overwhelming. These have been made of wood so biodegrable and very universal. Crowd funding helps towards to the costs of creating these, with every penny raised going towards on going awareness .

Love Ben, Jo & Katie
