💜 LOOK HOW OUR HUB IS COMING ALONG! 💜

It’s starting to feel real now! 🏡

There’s still plenty to do, but slowly and surely, our vision for Violet House is coming to life. The renovations are underway, the soundproofing is going in, and every little bit of progress brings us closer to opening the doors.

This is about creating more than just a building. It’s about creating a safe space where people can come as they are, find someone who listens, have a cuppa, access support and know they don’t have to face things alone.

A place for su***de prevention, support after loss, and honest conversations without judgement.

We started Violet Project around a kitchen table back in 2022, and now we’re building something we hope will make a real difference to so many lives. 💜

There’s still work to do, and we’re hoping to soft launch by Christmas!

We are organising a community day on 7th November for anyone who fancies rolling up their sleeves and helping with painting, weeding, cleaning , gardening or whatever needs doing. Every pair of hands really will make a difference.

Keep watching this space. We’re building something special, together. 💜

🚨 YOU’RE ON SHIFT. YOU MATTER.

If you work in an emergency service, this is your reminder that you are a person before you are a job title. ❤️

You spend your working hours looking after others, responding to emergencies, supporting people through some of the worst moments of their lives and carrying things that many people will never see.

But who looks after you?

You are far more important than your job. Your wellbeing matters. Your mental health matters. And you deserve moments to stop, breathe and take care of yourself, too.

As part of our new Violet Project Su***de Prevention and Bereavement Hub in Coventry, we want to offer emergency workers a safe, welcoming space to pop in, grab a cuppa, use the loo, refill your water bottle or simply take five minutes to catch your breath.

No appointment. No expectations. Just a little space for you.

Because you don’t always have to be the strong one. You don’t always have to keep going. And you don’t have to wait until you’re struggling to take a break in our staff room .

💜 You spend so much time looking after others. Let us look after you for five minutes.

📍 Violet Project Hub, (Old Library) Moseley Avenue, Coventry
🏡 Opening details will be shared as we get closer to launching.

Please share this with the emergency workers in your life. They deserve to know that they matter, too.

Over the next few weeks we are going to introduce you to some of the team and the faces you may see when popping in to the hub.

💜 Meet Barney the Boss! 🐾

Every project needs a little character, and Barney brings plenty of that!

Barney is becoming part of life at the Violet Project Hub, keeping us company as we get things ready and reminding us that sometimes the best part of any day is having a friendly face around.

He might not be much help with the paperwork, but he’s certainly good at making us smile and bringing a bit of warmth to the space (from his office zone only )

We’re looking forward to sharing more of Barney’s adventures as the Violet Project Hub takes shape.

Welcome aboard, Barney! We think you’re going to feel right at home. 💜

THE HUB IS COMING ON!

Things are starting to take shape at our new Violet Project Hub, and we’re getting closer to turning this space into something really special.

Soundproofing is underway, renovations are in progress, and little by little, we’re building a welcoming space for su***de prevention, counselling and bereavement support.

Our aim is to soft launch in time for Christmas!

But here’s where our community comes in. We’ll be organising a community day for anyone who would like to get involved with painting, gardening and helping us put the finishing touches to the space.

You don’t need special skills, just a willingness to lend a hand. Whether you can spare an hour, help with a paintbrush, tidy up the garden or simply spread the word, every little bit makes a difference.

Violet Project has always been about people coming together to make a difference, and this hub is no different. It’s being built with our community, for our community.

We can’t wait to open the doors and welcome you in. Watch this space for details of our community day!

Together, we can create a place where hope grows, conversations happen and nobody has to face things alone.

6,162 lives lost. And behind every number is a person.

The latest su***de statistics from the Office for National Statistics show that 6,162 deaths by su***de were registered in England and Wales in 2025.

These figures are more than numbers on a page. They represent people with stories, families, friendships, hopes and futures. People who mattered. People who are missed every single day by those left behind.

At Violet Project CIO, we know that su***de doesn’t just take a life. It leaves families, friends and entire communities trying to make sense of a loss that can never truly be put into words.

We cannot keep talking about su***de prevention without taking meaningful action.

People need access to support before they reach crisis point. Families bereaved by su***de need support long after the initial loss. And grassroots charities working on the frontline need sustainable funding to continue providing that support within their communities.

Su***de prevention cannot be a conversation we have once a year, nor can it rely on the goodwill of charities and volunteers to fill the gaps.

We need investment, accessible services, early intervention and a genuine commitment to preventing su***de. Not just promises, but action.

At Violet Project, we will continue to shine a light on su***de prevention, challenge stigma, support people in crisis and walk alongside those bereaved by su***de.

Because every life matters. Every conversation matters. And every opportunity to help someone stay alive matters.

Su***de prevention is everyone’s business. Every day, not just when the statistics make headlines.

COVENTRY SU***DE BEREAVEMENT GROUP -TOMORROW

🌿 What Can You Expect From Our Su***de Bereavement Group?

Losing someone to su***de can leave you feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure where to turn. Our bereavement group offers a gentle, supportive space where you don’t have to face this alone.

Here’s what you can expect:

✨ A Safe, Non-Judgmental Space
Share as much or as little as you feel comfortable. Everyone in the room understands the unique grief that follows su***de loss.

🤝 Connection With Others Who “Get It”
You’ll meet people who have walked similar paths—no need to explain or defend your feelings.

💬 Guided Conversations
Our trained facilitators support the group with grounding, gentle structure, and space to reflect.

🧡 Compassion & Acceptance
All emotions are welcome—sadness, anger, confusion, numbness. Your experience matters.

🌱 Hope & Healing
While we can’t take away the pain, being witnessed and supported can help you move through grief at your own pace.

If you or someone you know might benefit from this group, you are welcome here. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

Coventry group is on tomorrow evening 7pm at our office with Steeple House CV1 3BY

💜 TODAY: HOPE REMAINS, WOLVERHAMPTON 💜

Today on World Mental Health Day - we’re bringing people together in Wolverhampton for Hope Remains, a special service of reflection, connection and hope.

📍 St Peter’s Collegiate Church, Wolverhampton City Centre
🕓 4pm today (doors open 3.30)

Although we’ve recently established our new hub in Coventry, our work across other communities continues. Su***de prevention, supporting people bereaved by su***de, and creating spaces where people feel less alone remain at the heart of everything we do.

Hope Remains is an opportunity to pause, reflect, remember those we have lost, acknowledge the impact of mental health and su***de, and remind one another that there is always space for conversation, connection and support.

Whether you are struggling yourself, supporting someone else, bereaved by su***de, or simply want to stand alongside others, you are welcome.

💜 Come along just before 4pm today. We would love to see you there.

Because wherever you are, su***de prevention matters. And no one should have to navigate the difficult moments of life alone.

💜 THE LOVE YOU’VE SHOWN US HAS BEEN OVERWHELMING. AND WE MEAN THAT. 💜

Since sharing the news about our hub, we’ve been genuinely overwhelmed by the outpouring of love, support and excitement for what we’re building.

We’ve received so many messages, comments and offers of help, and we want you to know that we see them, we appreciate them, and we are so grateful. We will be replying to all your messages, so please bear with us while we work our way through them.

We appreciate every single one of you. More than you probably realise.

But we want you to know something. This hub is not just being built by Violet Project. It’s being built by our community, too.

It takes a team to make something like this happen.

💜 Our volunteers, who give their time, energy and kindness.

💜 The people who fundraise, donate and help us turn an idea into something real.

💜 Those who share our posts, spread the word and help keep su***de prevention and bereavement support in the conversation.

💜 The people who recommend us, connect us with others and believe in what we’re trying to achieve.

💜 Every single person who stands alongside us, in whatever way they can.

Every share matters. Every pound matters. Every hour given matters. Every conversation matters.

Because behind every fundraiser, every shared post and every act of kindness is the possibility of making support accessible to someone who desperately needs it.

This hub is about creating a place in our community where people can find connection, support and a little breathing space when life feels too much. A place for su***de prevention, for families navigating the devastation of loss, and for people who need to know they don’t have to face things alone.

We started with an idea around a kitchen table. Now, with the support of so many people, we’re taking another step towards making that idea a reality.

We know the need is there. Our job is to keep finding ways to make the support possible.

So, from all of us at Violet Project, thank you for being part of this. Whether you’ve volunteered, donated, fundraised, shared a post, sent us a message or simply told someone about us, you are helping to make this happen.

We might be a small charity, but together, we’re building something that matters.

And we can’t wait to open our doors and welcome our community in.

We appreciate you all. Thank you for believing in us, for standing alongside us and for helping us turn this dream into a place where people can find support when they need it most. 💜

This is what community looks like. This is what happens when people come together.

And this is only the beginning.

💜 WE ARE SO EXCITED TO SHARE THIS NEWS!!

From the very beginning of Violet Project in 2022, we had a vision…. Create a holistic Su***de Prevention and Bereavement Hub, bringing immediate crisis support, compassionate understanding, bereavement care and long-term recovery together under one roof.

That vision is finally becoming a reality!

💜 We are incredibly proud to announce the development of Coventry's first dedicated Su***de Prevention & Bereavement Hub, at the former Coundon Library on Moseley Avenue.

Through years of supporting people affected by su***de, we have learnt that su***de prevention cannot stop when the immediate crisis ends.

For someone in crisis, being asked to choose life forever can feel impossible. Sometimes we need to make that decision smaller:

Can we help you stay safe for now?

Then we have time to listen, develop a safety plan together, understand what has brought someone to crisis and help them begin to rebuild.

Our Hub will bring together:
💜 One-to-one su***de intervention and safety planning
💜 Peer programmes building resilience, coping skills and life skills
💜 Low-cost su***de and self-harm specific counselling
💜 Su***de bereavement groups, counselling and one-to-one support
💜 Wellbeing, recovery and community support.

🏠 The renovations are already underway, creating counselling rooms, private support spaces, group areas and a welcoming community space.

Our aim is to have a soft launch opening nearer Christmas.

*But to make this Hub everything our community needs it to be, we need you behind our registered Charity*

💜 Donate. Fundraise. Volunteer. Partner with us. Share our story.

We have the building. We have the experience and qualifications . We are growing the team (volunteers welcome). Now we need our community to help us build what comes next.

This Hub is for every person struggling, every family needing support, every family affected by su***de loss, and for every loved one we have lost.

When Violet Project began, this was the dream.Now we have the keys. 🔑💜

Help us turn them into a place of prevention, intervention, recovery, bereavement support and HOPE.
