Walking together in memory of Poppy, raising awareness of young suicide and supporting Papyrus

Walk for Poppy 2026

This year will be our third 'Walk for Poppy', and five years since she took her own life aged just 16 years old. We miss her every day - especially her cheeky humour, her creativity, and her excited squeals about her latest ideas. In our previous walks, around 50 of us have come together to walk through the lovely countryside near Bath. We have remembered Poppy together, and raised awareness of young suicide through talking about it together. Together we have raised over £7000 for Papyrus (www.papyrus-uk.org) during International Suicide Awareness Week. We would love for you to join us again this year on Saturday 12th September.

You can help in 3 ways.

Please share these details with your friends and family, and post on your social media.

Make a donation to Papyrus through the Walk for Poppy 2026 Just Giving page.

Join us on the 12th September. Everyone is welcome . The walk takes about 4 hours, plus an hour or so for lunch, tea and cake (cake provided) at Monkton village hall. If you would rather not walk, we would love you to meet us at Monkton for lunch and cake.

About the walk

The walk leaves from St Gregory's School at 11am, and heads through South Stoke village, down into Midford Valley to Monkton Combe village hall. We will get together for lunch (bring your own packed lunch) , tea and cake . We will walk back the same way.

We would love as many walkers as possible to wear a Papyrus T-Shirt. If you don't have one, you can buy directly from the Papyrus website
