About us

A person who dies by suicide is not defined by that death – they lived a unique life that touched all the people who loved and cared for them. Speak Their Name helps these bereaved families and friends honour and celebrate the lives of their loved ones, through the lived experience communities we build and the Memorial Quilts those groups create. Meet, talk, stitch, and sew – peer support that helps create beautiful enduring memorials... in more than 20 physical quilts across the UK and many digital pages online - an artistic purpose with powerful suicide prevention impact. No matter how long a person has been bereaved by suicide, time creating a Quilt Square for a loved one has emotional impact. It can be very sad to recall the loss; but many who have taken part in completed Quilts speak of finding the process therapeutic - they have enjoyed having dedicated time to remember their loved one, and talk about them with others. Seeing their Square as part of the finished Quilt brings a great feeling of pride... their loved one is remembered in a beautiful piece of art. Our Memorial Quilts are frequently displayed in their local communities. Once a year, the charity brings them all together to exhibit them in cities across the UK as part of our active suicide prevention effort.
