On Friday, 8th November 2024, more than 80 guests packed into restaurant of The Bridge Hotel at Walshford, near Wetherby for a Murder Mystery dinner to help raise much needed funds for The Jordan Legacy. By the end of the evening, it was clear that the event had raised more than £2400 to support our mission to prevent all preventable suicides.

It was a night of great fun, although everyone was made aware and there was more than one damp eye, as Steve was asked to open the evening by saying a few words about why The Jordan Legacy exists and about the work we do.

Some might consider that laughter and suicide are strange bedfellows but if we are to significantly start to reduce the increasing trend in suicide related deaths in this country, then perhaps we need more events filled with laughter and hope and more people coming together in our communities to do all they can to help prevent all preventable suicides.

We want to say a massive thank you to the fabulous team at The Bridge Hotel, in particularly the hugely generous and caring Marisa Mundy. Thanks must also go to Warren Coates and The Jordan Legacy’s friends at TRUST Networking who helped make this event.

A huge thanks to the fabulous Murder Mystery cast too – I’m sure a few BAFTA’s are due following that performance! Rumour has it that there are plans afoot to make this particular event an annual occurrence!
