From one family's loss to a campaign for change

Phoenix's story is being heard.

Walk with Phoenix has taken its message from community action to a meeting with Scotland's First Minister, correspondence from Buckingham Palace, coverage by The Courier and a letter asking the Prime Minister to consider the Phoenix Principles.

Our Scottish Parliament petition PE2289 is live and under consideration. Add your voice for stronger crisis intervention and safety measures on Scotland’s bridges.
