S.A.L.T Festival (Suicide Awareness Let’s Talk) previously known as Let's Get Talking About Suicide, is a free, family-friendly wellbeing day in Portsmouth, now in its 4th year. It will be 5th September this year in Victoria Park, Portsmouth.

Inspired by losing my father to suicide at 13, and the recent loss of our friend Lara who helped me realise my dream of making this happen in 2023 and went one step further with her determination to promote suicide awareness with the Portsmouth Baton of Hope. S.A.L.T exists to ensure no one feels alone.

With music, movement, creativity and vital support services, we bring hope, connection and life-saving conversations to our community. We strive to keep this event free of charge to the community to ensure there are no barriers to attending. Which is why I need your help. Please share and donate to give Portsmouth hope in healing and strengthening mental health.

Together, we can remind people that their life matters and life is worth living.

This event is hosted by Make at Aldingbourne, a safe space in the heart of Fratton.
