Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide (SoBS) is a national charity that provides support to people over the age of 18 impacted by suicide. The mission of SoBS is to provide free peer support to adults bereaved by suicide in a timely and open-ended manner, and our vision is that no one bereaved by suicide has to face their loss alone.

We’re proud to announce a very special 35th anniversary partnership with Legend-on-the-Bench—a UK charity dedicated to placing suicide prevention benches in parks and public spaces across the country.

Each bench includes

• Visible support contact details

• QR codes linking to 24/7 crisis support

• Direct links to SoBS

A message of hope and connection.

These benches shine a light in dark moments and create a lasting legacy for the community.

Each bench costs £1000, and we are hoping to place two benches in Bucks. One at Chilterns Crematorium, Amersham, and another is at Bierton Crematorium.

Additionally, we are attempting to establish two weekend groups at the aforementioned locations, beginning with four coffee mornings.

We hope to raise £2000 to cover the benches; any additional money raised will go towards the setup costs of new groups.

30 years ago, when I lost my partner to suicide, I was very fortunate to come across a Sobs group who showed me great compassion
