Frank Heinrich-Teller, a member of Long Sutton Men’s Shed and the Sutton Bridge U3A, both involved in the event, said: “It was a good event with myself giving a short scene setting presentation and the ‘Three Dads’ giving a very interesting talk on their raising awareness and fund raising efforts for the Papyrus Hope Line 247 suicide prevention for young people.”
