Keen to support Suicide&Co?
There are many ways in which you can join us on our mission to support those bereaved by suicide and open up the conversation around suicide-related loss.
We are always looking for company, and for new members of our community to join us on our journey. If you would like to learn more about how you can get involved and support Suicide&Co, check out the options below!
34k Challenge
We’re looking for 34 people to take on the 34K Challenge!
The estimated number of people directly bereaved by suicide each year is around 34,000. This is our number at Suicide&Co, as it is the estimated size of our target community each year who could need access to our services.
Take on 34km around World Suicide Prevention Day (Sept 10th), with a fundraising target of £1000, so that together we can raise £34,000 to help us to continue to achieve our mission of supporting individuals bereaved by suicide!
You can walk, run, cycle , skip or swim 34km. You can do it alone or as part of a team (maybe even relay style!), and It’s flexible so that you can tailor it to your capabilities.
Sign ups are now open so you can register for the 2024 challenge below!

10Before10
Join us for the #10before10 challenge. Let's keep it simple, walk 10,000 steps before 10am on the 10th of each month!
By taking part in this challenge you’ll get your dose of self-care, whilst raising money for Suicide&Co to support those bereaved by suicide by donating £10 to take part, either as a one off or every month!
We believe that together we can stride for better suicide bereavement support, stride to have braver conversations and stride with pride with our community, knowing that we are not alone.
