Bishop Line CRP is currently collaborating with 2 local organisations to make small steps to help tackle the issue of suicide in our area, one of those organisations is ManHealth.

ManHealth run support groups for men in and around County Durham and the North East of England. They also organise walks to encourage their men to meet up away from the group to help build community and friendship.

With support from the Community Rail Network and CrossCountry, the partnership is helping to fund a series of monthly walks starting and finishing at Bishop Line Stations. The project aims to engage with men of any age, living or working in Bishop Auckland, Shildon, Newton Aycliffe and Darlington throughout 2025 and up to the end March 2026.

To date walks have been delivered in Bishop Auckland, Newton Aycliffe, Darlington and Shildon.

Look out for details of the next walk on the ManHealth Facebook page.
