While protestors marched through the streets near St Martin-in-the-Fields church, Trafalgar Square on Saturday, inside was an oasis of peace and solace. Around 500 people affected by suicide gathered for the tenth anniversary of Time Together: a service that has become a vital moment of remembrance, reflection, and support.
The day was marked by powerfully moving testimonies, beautiful music from St Martin’s Voices and soloist Tim Kiddell, and the collective comfort of shared experience.
A Special Milestone: Ten Years of Time Together
Ann Feloy, Founder of Olly’s Future, welcomed everyone and announced the launch of a new book: Life Beyond Suicide. Reflections of Loss and Love. Co-created with Rev’d Sam Wells and David Mosse (one of the original founders of the service), the book was published to mark this milestone year.
Containing 33 testimonies from speakers over the past decade, Life Beyond Suicide captures the profound honesty and courage that has always defined Time Together. The response was overwhelming, the book sold out on the day!
