Charity celebrates its recognition at the Charity Today Awards
SOS Silence of Suicide is proud to announce that it received the prestigious Charity Today Mental Health Impact Award on Wednesday, October 16, during a ceremony at the Orton Hall Hotel and Spa in Peterborough. This award recognises our unwavering commitment to supporting individuals affected by suicidal thoughts and mental health challenges.
As a charity, we understand that the journey to mental wellness can be challenging. We are devoted to providing essential resources and unwavering support to those in need. Our organisation has made remarkable strides in various areas, reflecting our commitment to positive change.
Key Achievements:
1. Group Emotional Support Sessions: Our support groups can be a valuable resource for those struggling with mental health challenges. They offer a space to connect with others going through similar experiences, share advice and support, and find a sense of community.
2. Freephone Helpline: Our helpline provides a safe and confidential space to talk to someone who understands your situation. At SOS, we know how hard it can be to reach out when you’re struggling with suicidal thoughts or feelings.
3. Launch of Wellbeing Mobile Hubs: In our dedication to accessibility, we have launched mobile wellbeing hubs that journey to communities in need. These hubs are a beacon of hope, offering resources, workshops, and one-on-one support, ensuring that mental health assistance reaches those who may not otherwise have the opportunity.
4. Breaking the Stigma, Silence, and Shame: Our ongoing campaign to break the stigma surrounding suicide and mental health issues has led to increased awareness and open dialogue within communities. Through educational outreach, workshops, and public events, we aim to empower individuals to speak up and seek help without fear of judgment.
The recognition from Charity Today truly reflects the unwavering dedication of our voluntary workers, staff, and supporters who stand by our mission. We genuinely believe in creating a society where conversations about mental health are welcomed, helping individuals feel understood and supported during their most difficult times.
Yvette Greenway-Mansfield, CEO of SOS Silence of Suicide, expressed, “We are deeply honoured to receive the Charity Today Mental Health Impact Award.
“This recognition extends beyond our organisation; it represents the countless lives we strive to uplift daily. Each call we answer and every story we hear reminds us that there is hope, even in the darkest moments. We believe that no one should ever feel alone in their pain. Together, we are not just breaking the silence surrounding suicide; we are fostering a community of compassion, understanding, and love where healing can truly begin.”
SOS Silence of Suicide would like to extend its gratitude to everyone who has supported our mission, and we encourage those who are struggling or know someone who is to reach out for help. It is only by unifying our efforts we can silence the stigma and foster a culture of compassion and understanding for those affected by suicide.
