A Newcastle marina worker who has helped the emergency services search for missing people in the River Tyne is organising a moving display on the Quayside.
Mia Davison, who works in admin and maintenance St Peter's Marina, is putting together a 'floating exhibition' that will see around 20 boats sail along the River Tyne. The event, which is set to mark World Suicide Prevention Day on Saturday, September 10, aims to raise awareness of mental health and how people can help loved ones who are struggling.
Spectators will be able to see the procession set off from St Peter's Marina at noon and have a closer look at the boats when they arrive at Newcastle City Marina underneath the Tyne Bridge at 1.30pm. The exhibition will feature music and poetry, as well as talks from mental health charities including If U Care Share.
