Losing someone to suicide is one of the most difficult and lonely experiences a person can have.
Join us for a community event on Sunday 8th September at Butterfly Meadow, in Shenfield, near Brentwood in Essex, for an afternoon entitled ‘Smashing the Stigma’, which will run from 1.00pm until 4.30pm. This event reaches out to those who have lost loved ones, friends or colleagues to suicide
Support after Suicide
This event came about after a local minister contacted Bennetts Funeral Directors and asked us to work together with them on an event following a death by suicide within their family unit; this was the trigger we needed as we had wished to confront this tragic subject for some time.
This is a FREE Event
If you’re intending to come along, you can register through the QR code on the above poster, call on 01277 210104 or email us at info@bennettsfunerals.co.uk or. This is purely to assist with catering requirements. Everyone is welcome on the day and registration is optional.
A butterfly badge will be worn by those who are open to talking to others, and a plan is being formulated so anyone attending can be part of making a butterfly mosaic for Butterfly Meadow.
Other age relevant activities will be available for those who would like to take part.
An opportunity to share and inform
Essex Working Well and Brentwood Borough Council are supporting the event too, plus St Mary’s Church who are letting us use the church and Butterfly Meadow.
We welcome other local support organisations to take part and help on the day, the more volunteers the better!
We hope to see you!
We very much look forward to seeing you on the day.
Note : There is limited parking, please use the local side streets to endeavour to keep the bend near the church clear.
