SOS Silence of Suicide Partners with Warwick District Council to Support Community Mental Health

A new partnership between Warwick District Council’s Community Safety Team and SOS Silence of Suicide is set to provide essential mental health and wellbeing support the local community.

The charity is setting up a mobile wellbeing hub outside the Council’s Safe Space at South Lodge, Leamington Spa from where they will provide a warm and welcoming space where anyone can stop by for a chat, learn more about what SOS does, or simply share what’s on their mind.

Yvette Greenway, CEO of SOS Silence of Suicide, shared her thoughts:
“Our mission is to break down the barriers of stigma, silence, and shame around mental health and suicide. This partnership with Warwick District Council is about creating a space where people feel safe to open up and connect. Nobody should feel like they have to carry their burden alone. Together, we can build a stronger, more compassionate community.”

For us at SOS, this is more than just an initiative; it’s a chance to make a real difference. We’ve always been committed to promoting open, honest conversations about mental health, and we’re thrilled to work alongside Warwick District Council to make our community a place where everyone feels valued and supported.

We’d love to see you at our wellbeing hub. Whether you’re looking for support, curious about what we do, or just need someone to talk to, we’re here for you.”

Councillor Jim Sinnott, Warwick District Council’s Portfolio Holder for Community and Leisure added:

“The winter period can be a challenging time for many, I am therefore extremely proud that we have been able to work together with SOS to facilitate a safe and welcoming location where anyone can go to for help and advice or simply to be listened to. Through this partnership we also hope to raise awareness of the local support and resources available for those suffering from mental health issues or directly impacted by the loss of someone to suicide.

The SOS Mobile Hub will be open outside the Safe Space, Parade, Leamington Spa at the following times throughout January and February.
