A community wellbeing event aimed at supporting those affected by suicide took place at Bristol Memorial Woodlands last month.
Organised by local charity Sunflowers Suicide Support, the Storms Walk was led by a trained volunteer and a liaison officer, both experienced in offering gentle, informal support.
Rooted in the idea that “we can’t stop the storm, but we can walk through it together,” the regular Storms Walk offers a space to share and feel supported by others who understand
Chloe Webb, operations manager at Sunflowers Suicide Support, said: “At Sunflowers, we understand how important it is to have spaces where people can connect, reflect, and feel less alone. The Storms Walk is about walking alongside one another, through grief, through silence, through conversation. Whether someone wants to talk or simply be in the presence of others who understand, this event offers a gentle step towards healing.”
