Time Together: A Service Of Reflection For Those Affected By Suicide

An opportunity to gather, united by the effects of suicide, whether bereaved, surviving a suicide attempt, living with suicidal thoughts or know of someone who has. Listen to personal stories, music and poetry, creating a contemplative atmosphere.  You are invited to bring a small stone, a flower or light a candle, marking your own journey.

Join us as we come together for our first celebration in Leicester, on Saturday, 13th September at 2pm, building on the success of a similar event hosted in London for the past 10 years. What we hope will become an annual event here in Leicester, is a non-denominational service offering a compassionate space for those who are affected in any way by suicide and journeying towards hope and healing. After the service, we warmly invite you to join us in the Parish Room for tea, coffee, and biscuits, and to chat, with organisations that are supporting this important event.

The service is organised by Talking Mental Fitness, with support from Olly’s Future https://ollysfuture.org.uk, a suicide prevention charity.

You are welcome to bring along a stone, a rose, or light a votive candle to signify where you are on your personal journey towards hope and healing and will be invited to place these near the Sanctuary at specific times during the service.

The audio recording of the 2023 service and the programme of the 2024 service can be found on the Olly’s Future website; http://ollysfuture.org.uk/st-martins-in-the-fields-service
