World Suicide Prevention Day Church Service – 10th September 2026

The World Suicide Prevention Day Church Service will be held at All Hallows by the Tower at 6pm on Thursday 10th September 2026.

This Service brings the community together in gratitude of all those who strive to prevent suicide and support those affected, to reaffirm our commitment and action to prevent suicide and shift the culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, empathy, and support.

World Suicide Prevention Day is an awareness day to provide worldwide commitment and action to prevent suicides. The theme is “Changing the Narrative on Suicide” with the call to action to ” Start the Conversation “. This triennial theme spans from 2024 through to this year, 2026.

Core Goals of the Theme –

• Shift from a culture of silence and stigma to one of openness, empathy, and support.
• Encourage open, honest discussions about suicide and suicidal behaviour.
• Advocate for policies that prioritise mental health and increase care access.
• Foster compassion and build understanding around mental health struggles.

BridgeWatch volunteers and The Listening Place will be sharing their reflections during the service and will be available after the service. We are extremely grateful to John F Hunt Ltd for sponsoring this special service and the refreshments.

The service is open to the public, and everyone is very welcome to attend.
