We will be facilitating a pop-up event on Monday 1^st September 2025, 10am – 12pm at House of Books & Friends in the city centre, to raise awareness of World Suicide Prevention Day 2025 later that month.

This event is open to everyone, including professionals and members of the public.

We recognise the significant impact suicide can have and understand that losing someone to suicide may increase the likelihood of mental health challenges and suicidal risk. Our pop up event is an opportunity to learn more about Suicide Bereavement and how the GM Bereavement Service can support anyone bereaved or impacted by a death. There will also be chance to connect with others, and speak to a practitioner for help or advice.

Please register for free via Eventbrite.

Dying Matters Awareness Week takes place on 5th-11th May. The theme of this years campaign is ‘The Culture of Dying Matters’, and there is a focus on how different communities and cultures in the UK feel, talk about, and deal with death and dying – and what brings them together.

The Greater Manchester Bereavement Service will be holding a coffee morning at House of Brooks & Friends in Manchester city centre to mark the week.

The morning will provide an opportunity to learn more about bereavement and the service itself, connect with others, and engage in a creative activity with a focus on grief.

This is available for anyone to join, and it’s free to register on the Eventbrite link.
