About our cause
Sunflowers aim to make Gloucestershire a suicide safer community and are actively working to reduce the number of people who take their own lives.
The Charity was set up in memory of Pete Morris who took his own life in September 2016 to be the small ray of light in the darkness.
Sunflowers offers others comfort and advice that is so desperately needed after a suspected suicide loss to reduce feelings of isolation in their grief. Our bereavement support services include a support pack which is delivered by Gloucestershire Constabulary on sharing the news to family members. We provide practical advice and support when we meet the bereaved family. We offer special events throughout the year that bring people bereaved by suicide together to acknowledge their grief and remember their loved ones alongside each other. These events are open to adults and children to ensure that children are involved in and part of the grieving with the rest of their family as they are so often forgotten. We have trained three Grief Recovery Specialists with Grief Recovery Method which we now offer as peer support. We run a support group which is facilitated by a Registered and Accredited Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy to provide professional support to those attending. We also offer support to children and their families who are bereaved through our family support work which is delivered by a trained suicide bereavement practitioner.
Sunflowers also work to advance the knowledge and education to our community and professionals in all areas relating to suicide prevention, intervention and bereavement. Sunflowers offer training in suicide intervention to the wider community. This helps participants identify suicide risks and enables them to respond to suicidal behaviour, activating a plan for immediate safety. We use our personal experience of suicide bereavement to deliver presentations sharing our story and the learning points, which inspire others to work together to prevent further suicides. Previous work has included learning sessions for GP localities.
In order for us to deliver these much-needed services, we are heavily reliant on donations and fundraising. Without this we would not be able to continue to offer the support we do; meaning those families bereaved by suicide would be left with no access to help.
Our future aspiration is to continue to grow and develop the support we offer, including increasing the number of support groups across Gloucestershire. We also aim to develop a more streamlined referral process into our Services from professionals to ensure immediate help post loss is in place.

We hope you will sign up to support us as part of the lottery and we wish you all the best of luck!
Stay in the sun
