Debbie Beard and Amanda Thorpe, both of whom have lost their husbands, spoke to BBC Sport’s Simon Jack at the launch of a new suicide prevention toolkit.
The toolkit, unveiled at the event, is a new resource aimed at helping people who may be at risk of suicide. It offers a range of support materials and guidance for those in distress.
During the interview, Beard and Thorpe shared their personal experiences of bereavement and explained how the toolkit could provide help to others facing similar losses.
BBC Sport covered the launch, with Simon Jack highlighting the importance of accessible mental‑health resources and the role of public awareness in suicide prevention.
The event underscores the ongoing need for effective suicide prevention tools and the value of sharing personal stories to encourage help‑seeking behaviour.
