Invite 3 Dads Walking To Speak
Every audience is different. Every event is different. But the reason we speak is always the same.
We are Andy, Mike and Tim – three ordinary dads brought together by an extraordinary tragedy. We each lost a daughter to suicide: Sophie, Beth and Emily. Out of that devastation came a determination to do everything we can to prevent other families experiencing the same loss.
Since 2021 we have walked more than 1,500 miles across the UK, raised over £1.5 million for suicide prevention, spoken to thousands of people and campaigned successfully for suicide prevention to be included in schools across England.
What We Talk About
Our talks are honest, heartfelt and hopeful.
We share:
The stories of Sophie, Beth and Emily.
The impact suicide has on families, friends and communities.
What we wish we had known before our daughters died.
The lessons we have learned from meeting thousands of people affected by suicide.
The power of talking openly about suicide and mental health.
How simple conversations can save lives.
The journey of 3 Dads Walking and the changes the campaign has helped achieve.
Every talk is tailored to the audience, whether that is a school, university, workplace, conference, charity event or community group.
Who We Speak To
We have spoken to:
Schools and colleges
Universities
NHS organisations
Local authorities
Charities
Community groups
Corporate organisations
National conferences and events
Our presentations can range from a short keynote speech to longer sessions including audience questions and discussion.
“We can't change what happened to our daughters. But if sharing their stories helps save even one life, then it is worth every step we take.”
Why Invite Us?
People often tell us that our talks stay with them long after the event has finished.
This is not because we have all the answers.
It is because our message is simple:
Suicide prevention is everyone's business.
By talking openly, listening without judgement and knowing where support can be found, we can all play a role in saving lives.
Fees
As a voluntary campaign, we try to make speaking engagements accessible while also ensuring the time, travel and preparation involved are sustainable.
Where possible, we ask larger organisations, conferences and corporate events to make a contribution towards our work. For charities, community groups and grassroots organisations, we are always happy to discuss what is possible within your budget.
Any income generated helps us continue raising awareness, supporting suicide prevention initiatives and keeping the conversation going.
