In memory of Peter Morris
Donations cannot currently be made to this page
Sunflowers was created in memory of Pete Morris who died by suicide in 2016. His family developed the Charity to walk alongside others bereaved by suicide and to be a small ray of light in the darkness; offering others comfort and support that is so desperately needed at such a difficult time. Sunflowers endeavour to provide other families with practical and professional support so they do not feel overwhelmed and alone. This we hope will give a glimmer of hope for the future. Sunflowers also raise awareness around mental health and suicide both on social media and by networking locally and nationally. We deliver accredited training to the wider community and presentations sharing our story. We highlight that it is Okay to not be ‘Okay’ and the importance of talking and of course listening. We feel that everyone can play a small part in connecting with and helping others to feel less alone.

Story

For Chase the Sun this year I will be attempting to ride 100km on my bike over one week to raise money for Sunflowers Suicide Support. 

I will do this in memory of my childhood friend Pete Morris who we set up the charity in memory of after he took his own life in 2016.  At the time we found it very difficult to find Pete’s family the support they so desperately needed; Sunflowers now provides this much-needed support throughout Gloucestershire.

As well as post-suicide support Sunflowers provide vital training on spotting the signs and finding the way to prevent a suicide. 

It is a cause that will forever remain close to my heart and particularly after the last year is so desperately needed. 

Thank you for reading. Kath 🌻
