Bags for Strife

Bags for Strife provides a bag of emotional and practical support for those bereaved by suicide. The bag can be used either in the immediate aftermath of loss or when needed.

Our work in suicide prevention

Whilst Bags for Strife was established to support those bereaved by suicide, in so doing we also provide support and hope to the people left behind who may themselves have thoughts of suicide. The information provided in the bags includes referral information and signposting to other national and local services as well as items of self care for recipients.

Our motivation for joining the NSPA

Bags for Strife are keen to link up with other charities and services and work collaboratively to reduce the number of people dying by suicide and to ensure that the bereaved have access to the support they need, when and where they need it.

Our areas of expertise

Our charity was conceived and is managed by a steering group who have all lost a loved one to suicide. Drawing on their experiences of loss and living after loss we have created a bag of compassionate resources to let people know that help and understanding is out there.
