Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Campaign Brings "Walk for Life" to Bristol

Monday 21 September 2026 – 6:00pm

Residents, businesses and communities across Bristol are being invited to join an inspiring evening walk through the city as part of a campaign promoting suicide prevention, mental wellbeing and the power of human connection.

Matt Holman, founder of HOLHUMAN and Hampshire-based Simpila Wellbeing, will bring his One Million Steps in One Month – Walk for Life challenge to Bristol on Monday 21 September, with a six-mile community walk beginning at 6:00pm from the William III Monument in Queen Square, BS1 4QS, bringing people together for an evening of walking, conversation and connection.

The challenge supports The Baton of Hope, a UK national suicide prevention movement, and forms part of Matt's commitment to complete one million steps between World Suicide Prevention Day (10 September) and World Mental Health Day (10 October).
