The quilt began its creation in 2022. by Anna Scott and Karen Sykes who are both bereaved by suicide are behind the project. It is a memorial made up of squares submitted by people with a connection to Yorkshire bereaved by suicide. Each square represents a lost loved one and many show a tiny glimpse into the life of the person lost. The quilt is a powerful tool for starting life saving conversations about suicide. These conversations help to wash away the stigma associated with suicide. The Yorkshire Speak Their Name Quilt is an ongoing project and as squares come in another panel is made.
