Help us raise much-needed funds for Sunflowers Suicide Support, a Gloucestershire charity that provides support for people bereaved or affected by suicide.

A group of 30 regular swimmers, aged between 18 and 80, at the Cheltenham Ladies' College pool have a 2-hour slot on Sunday 17th March 2024, to see if we can collectively swim the distance of The English Channel to France and back in the pool. It is a total distance of 67.6km = 2,704 lengths! We think we can do it!!

Everything you donate will be doubled through the generous support of Pete and Lucy Eggleston through a match funding agreement with their Eggleston Charitable Foundation. So please give generously...

Sunflowers Suicide Support is founded by people who know the pain and trauma of losing a loved one to suicide. They aim to offer support to others who are bereaved or affected by suicide.

They have several schemes for suicide prevention and to help with suicide bereavement. To see what your donations will go towards please visit: https://sunflowerssuicidesupport.org.uk/donate.

#SwimForSunflowers is one of a series of events being organised by Belinda Wilson throughout 2024 to raise funds for Sunflower Suicide Support as https://www.GlosJobs.co.uk and https://www.glos.info Charity of the Year 2024

Belinda lost her father to suicide and knows several people who have lost family members, so she has decided to help others in a similar or potentially similar situation.

The events include:
