Candle-lit vigil in Draperstown to mark World Suicide Prevention Day

The local mental health group STEPS are organising the event in the diamond area of the village from 7.30pm.

A spokesperson from the group said: “We would ask that anyone that cannot attend the vigil to light a candle at 8pm as many groups and countries will be doing the same.

“The candle is to give hope to all those experiencing darkness, it is to bring comfort to all those bereaved through Suicide and its to remember all those lost through Suicide.”
