Cycle Against Suicide Activity Day

‘Cycle against Suicide’ is an organization that helps anyone who is battling mental health problems. It was started by Jim Breen, a man who himself had also battled mental health issues It raises money to help people who are struggling by, as the name suggests, cycling around the country.

On this particular activity day, the TY students attended the event organized for students across the country to attend.

Subjects like cyber bullying, social school problems and mental health problems were talked about while keeping the atmosphere light and fun. Speakers included TikTok stars, book auditors, DJ’s, dog trainers, as well as the organizers and staff of ‘cycle against suicide’ itself.

The smile Committee at Manor House School is inspired by ‘Cycle against Suicide’ and does many different activities every year to help and motivate students who may be struggling with their mental health.

The smile room in our school has various things dedicated to the ‘Cycle against Suicide’ organization and was visited by Jim Breen himself when he visited the school previously.

I think this was a great event, positive for all TYs and the 5th year students, who are part of the smile committee, who attended.
