Story

Our son Oliver tragically took his own life on 20th September, just three days before his 19th birthday. A talented, gentle and kind young man who had so much to live for, surrounded by a family who loved him so much, yet in the end the pain of depression was too much for him to bear. People facing mental health challenges - especially young adults - need far more support than is currently available and we hope that his passing will help provide that assistance for others in the future. RIP Oliver, you will never be forgotten.

If anyone has any photos, stories or memories of Ollie please share them on  https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1RqNYcyr5jDHBU9rXUuDBXakpnpE9ko2p . Many thanks.

Trágicamente nuestro hijo Oliver se suicidó el 20 septiembre, solo tres días antes de su decimonoveno cumpleaños. Era un hombre dotado, amable y cariñoso que tenía tanto por que vivir, rodeado por una familía que lo quería muchísimo; sin embargo, el dolor de su depresión resultó ser demasiado para soportar. Los que enfrentan retos de enfermedad mental – en particular los adultos jóvenes – necesitan mucho más apoyo de lo que reciben actualmente y esperamos que su fallecimiento ayude a establecer esa asistencia para otros en el futuro. Q.E.P.D. Oliver, nunca serás olvidado.
