The SPAN walk began in Geelong and is now active in Central Victoria – made up of a committee of Bendigo Community groups. Each year around 300 individuals walk in memory of a person who has taken their life. This walk provides a safe place to find support and a community of people who have had a similar experience.
Staff from Bendigo community health services will be available at the walk to provide support.
