North East Speak Their Name Suicide Memorial Quilt

The North East Speak Their Name suicide memorial quilt has been created by some of those who have lost loved ones to suicide in our region.

There are three quilt panels, with 120 squares – behind each square is a much-loved person. The squares have been crafted with love and care, honouring each precious person lost to suicide.

People came together as a supportive community to create this powerful artwork. They shared stories and treasured memories and encouraged one another to ‘speak their name’. Work from Darlington Borough Art Collection will be displayed alongside this exhibition.
