We are looking for 12 people to join us as we walk 10.5 miles end to end of the Malvern Hills raising funds for Behind the Sm;le – to continue providing support for mental health and bereavement from suicide.
On the Saturday of August bank holiday 2018, our son Zac, left the house in the morning and went up on the Malvern Hills where he ended his life. This August will be 8 years since we had that dreadful knock on the door, the pain and grief haven’t diminished. Zac was a caring loving person, but he had his own demons to battle with and tried to hide them behind his well-used mask. He had a strong sense of social justice, trying to do the ‘right thing’ and choosing to put others’ needs before his own.
This year, we’re taking on the full Malvern Hills end to end walk, over 15 ridges; with breathtaking views and over 6000ft of elevation gain. — a demanding but deeply meaningful challenge — in memory of Zac Pritchard. Zac’s life and spirit inspired the creation of Behind The Smile, a suicide prevention charity dedicated to raising awareness, breaking stigma, and supporting those struggling with mental health challenges.
By undertaking this tough 10.5-mile route, we’re walking not only for fitness and adventure, but also to honour Zac’s memory and help ensure that others find the support they need before it’s too late. Every step is for those we’ve lost and those still fighting.

“Sometimes what we need is not a solution or well-meaning advice, ………but simply to have someone listen to us …………..while we tell our story;
We listen to understand not to reply”
If you are experiencing anxiety, stress or low mood, family or relationship issues, feeling alone or in need, we offer mental health peer support.
If suicide happens to your family or friends we want to be there to offer you support as you go through this dreadful process.
Feeling the loss from a suicide does not have to be from a recent loss, you may feel the loss years later.
