New SOBS group in Leeds 

We are looking for people who might be interested in becoming involved in setting up a SOBS (Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide) group in Leeds.  SOBS is a volunteer run group offering peer-support to people who have been bereaved by suicide.  (See www.uk-sobs.org.uk) If you have suffered a bereavement through suicide in the past (at least two years) and feel you are now able to offer support to someone else then please contact sue.watts@lbforum.org.uk
