Find the light – the SOS Festive song 2024

 

 

SOS Silence of Suicide is delighted to announce the  release of their heart warming and inspiring festive track, Find Your Light, available for streaming or download 

 
 
 Written by Lorna James, produced by Will Davies and Vaughn Jones and featuring lead female West End vocalist Marsha Webbe , the Resonate! Choir from Bournemouth led by Jayne Lewis who wrote the choral accompaniment and junior vocalist Ava Mason-Allen, the music and lyrics evoke emotions that inspire hope and light during your darkest moments.
 
To stream or download from 25th November 2024, please click on Find Your Light
 
Every penny raised will go straight back into the charity to develop and maintain its services.
 
All artistes, musicians, writers, and producers kindly gave their time free of charge to the Charity and without them, it would not be possible to bring you this heart warming and inspiring track.
 
Thank you to the families who have allowed us to use images of their loved ones sadly lost to suicide.  We met many of you at our first ever annual event for those bereaved by suicide and we hope to see you again on 1 May 2025 at Warwick Castle.  If you missed the event last year, you can read about it and see the pictures by clicking on 1 May 2024
 
Our fundraising song is not only to help us to keep helping others, but to remember those no longer with us and those left behind.
 
You can read more about the story behind the song and our  journey – simply scroll further down this page.
 
Thank you all for your support

2024 has been a year of growth with SOS helping more people than ever before. It’s also been a year of innovation in service delivery – the first ever mobile emotional wellbeing hubs in the UK, alongside the first annual remembrance service for those bereaved by suicide which was held on 1 May 2024 at Warwick Castle and is now a yearly event. Our helpline turned freephone, our group meetings grew and we produced our own accredited training courses

And now, our stunning SOS Christmas release as we enter the final phase of the year, which runs in tandem with our new television advert on Sky. Everything we do, we do with others at the fore front of our minds. The help we have had putting this track together has been overwhelming – a true show of support for the most vulnerable in society, who need our help more than ever. Together, they are helping us to keep helping others. You can see all the names of the contributors on our web site.

From the start, reducing the shame, stigma and silence around suicide and emotional health was the aim; it continues to be the cog that drives the wheel.

9 years on, it remains the foundation of the charity – people being liberated to speak and knowing they are actually being heard We hope that by listening to this song, you are lifted , transported and inspired as we acknowledge the dark times, but hope for brighter times for everyone who is struggling.

Music is known to unite. It takes us to times and places, both sad and happy. It evokes memories and feelings. It connects people, breaks down barriers and unifies. Importantly, it stops the silence. So, stop what you are doing and allow yourselves to be wrapped in warmth by the music and lyrics in our song.

All donations or funds from streaming of this song will go directly back into service provision for 2025. Thank you all, on behalf of the charity and everyone associated with this track, including those who gave their consent for their lost and loved one’s images to be utilised publicly.

Our founders, Michael and Yvette Mansfield have released a few words about our song: ‘We both feel uplifted and renewed by the beauty and relevance of the words and music that have created Find your Light and extend our deepest thanks to everyone involved in the project.’ Michael and Yvette x
