WE ARE NOT A CRISIS SERVICE
While we are here to offer support to people who have lost a loved one to suicide, please note that we are not a crisis service or helpline.
If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or crisis, please call 999 and seek help from the appropriate emergency resources.
We will contact emergency services if we are concerned for your immediate safety.

Help make our services possible
We have seen a significant increase in our referral rate over the past 12 months, and a high demand for support services. We need your help now more than ever to help us, help more people. Please consider contributing to our core services and overhead costs, which are difficult to source funding for.
