This year’s event, taking place on Thursday 1 May 2025 at Warwick Castle, will once again bring people together in reflection, solidarity, and hope. A highlight of the evening will be a special performance from the Crystal Gospel Choir, whose soul-stirring music will provide a deeply moving and uplifting atmosphere. The evening will include personal tributes, inspiring speakers, and opportunities for attendees to light candles in memory of their loved ones.

Last year’s event saw an overwhelming response from those affected by suicide, reinforcing the need for a dedicated day of remembrance. One attendee, Debbie, shared their experience:

"Attending last year’s remembrance evening gave me a sense of comfort I didn’t know I needed. Being in a space where I could openly grieve and honour my loved one, surrounded by people who truly understood, was incredibly powerful. I hope this becomes a national day so no one has to feel alone in their loss."

Yvette Greenway-Mansfield, CEO and Co-Founder of SOS Silence of Suicide, expressed her vision for the future of the event:

"The response to last year’s event was overwhelming, proving just how vital it is to have a dedicated space to remember, reflect, and support one another. Suicide grief is often isolating, but by coming together, we show that no one has to walk this path alone. Our aim is to establish this as a national day of remembrance, ensuring that those we’ve lost are never forgotten and that their loved ones always have a place to turn to for support."

This event is part of SOS Silence of Suicide’s continued mission to break the stigma, silence and shame surrounding suicide, and addressing the elephant in the room, by encourage open conversations about mental health, and provide crucial support to individuals and families.
