Anna Mansfield was just 44 when she died by suicide on 1 May 2015, leaving behind a devastated and loving family, including her husband and two young children. The loss of Michael’s daughter, Anna, alongside the suicide of Yvette’s friend five months earlier, were the reasons SOS was founded. Anyone bereaved by suicide fully understands the devastation that losing a loved one in this way brings.
SOS has always had one core aim – to help grow conversation and compassion by reducing shame, stigma, and silence around suicide. To honour the memory of Anna and all those who have passed by suicide, and to speak out against stigma, five people took part in ‘Skydiving Against Stigma’ for SOS on 1 May 2021, the sixth anniversary of Anna’s passing. The event took place at Hinton Airfield in Brackley, Oxfordshire, and collectively raised well over £6,000—a staggering amount. We would like to thank everyone for their participation and support.
Three of our support line voluntary workers, alongside TV psychologist Emma Kenny and her husband Peter, bravely skydived for us, and we send our deepest gratitude to them all. We also extend our thanks to our partner, Travel Radio, for encouraging Emma to take part in the dive for us. Finally, we would like to thank Hinton Airfield for supplying some of the content and Dave & Vicky Nash for editing.
On 1st March 2022, he successfully raised £1,156 with 51 supporters in 14 days.
He was raising money for a charitable cause that was very close to most of our hearts and required funding and more awareness. He asked for donations and help to reach his target in aid of SOS Silence Of Suicide. He had been first diagnosed with depression back in 2007, and it had been one of the hardest things to contend with and receive support for, sadly for many others to that day.
He was doing the event with almost no prior training that year, cycling 215km on 13th March to support mental health. Anything anyone could contribute to helping achieve that target had been massively appreciated and had gone a long way. Even just a repost.
