Halton Borough Council is holding its second memorial evening for anyone bereaved by suicide.
It will be held on Tuesday 10 September 2019 from 7pm to 9pm at Halton Stadium Widnes.

Services available to offer support on the evening will include Amparo, Samaritans, SoBS, Child Bereavement UK.
These memorial events began in 2017 and have taken place so far in Liverpool, St Helens, Chester and Halton. All events are free of charge and open to everyone from across Cheshire and Merseyside.
