About

Description

Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide (SoBS) exists to provide free peer to peer support to adults (18+) who have been bereaved by suicide in a timely and open ended manner so that no one bereaved by suicide has to face their loss alone.

SoBS was founded in 1991 by Alice Middleton MBE, following the loss of her brother and finding little support available, she placed an advert in her local paper seeking to make contact with others who had been bereaved by suicide. She started the first support group from her living room in Hull.
