In memory of Barbara Mather
We listen to anyone who needs us in order to alleviate distress and reduce suicide

Story

As we start to come to terms with the passing of our Mum Barbara we want to ensure we do her memory proud. Mum was never a fan of flowers at funerals so instead we would like to raise some money for a charity that was close to her heart. 

So many of the messages we have received centre on Mum's kind and compassionate nature always having time for others. Some of you may know that for many years Mum volunteered with The Samaritans in Harrow giving up her time to be there for those at their most vulnerable. Here she was known as Barbara1400. 

With the challenges faced by so many in recent months, her own experience of isolation and the loneliness it brings we know that on going support for Mental Health and in particular this charity would be her choice. 

Love and best wishes

Vickie & Tim
