orange button suicide prevention

Orange Button Community Scheme

A community partnership of voluntary sector organisations have come together to pilot the Orange Button Community scheme across Herefordshire and Worcestershire between April and July 2022

If you are having thoughts of suicide, or are worried about a friend or family member, you can talk to someone wearing an orange button.

The scheme is a way of identifying people that have undertaken suicide prevention training. That they have the confidence to talk to others about suicide. It is a way of showing others in your community who are having thoughts of suicide, or are worried about somebody else, that you are:

  • Comfortable to say / hear the word suicide
  • Can listen without judgement
  • Can inform people where to find help and support

SIL Yearbook 2021

Our yearbook is published each year to bring to focus the amazing impact we have, to remind us whey what we do is so important and to celebrate the achievements of our team, service users and their families.

2021 didn’t turn out to be the much improved year we all hoped for with new tighter restrictions being enforced as the new year began; Covid-19 continued to have an impact with many restrictions lasting well into the year and continuing to put us all at risk of serious illness.

But, yet again we have shown that even a global pandemic won’t stop us doing what we do best and we will take you on a round-up of all our events, trips, activities and best moments of the past year with PRIDE.

Look out for awards, personal triumphs, successes and joyfulness.
