Suicide&Co Himalayan Trek 2027

Capacity: 20- 30 people
Level of Difficulty: Challenging, trekking an average of 15 km-20 km per day at high altitude in a remote area, 5-8 hours. 5 days trekking in total.
This trek is much more than a physical challenge—it’s a journey of community and connection.

To support you along the way, one of our Suicide Bereavement Advisors will be with us to help cultivate a safe space where you can share your experience whenever you feel ready.
TSC London Marathon
Last year, we took to the streets of London for the very first time. Our incredible team of 20 runners raised an astonishing £119,000, funding over 3,376 counselling sessions for people at the hardest moment of their lives.
Now we're back for 2027, and we want to go even further. Demand for our service continues to grow, and every pound raised means someone doesn't have to wait for support.
Registration for 2027 is now closed, but keep an eye out for 2028!

Suicide&Co Challenges
-
The estimated number of people directly bereaved by suicide each year is around 36,000. This is our number at Suicide&Co, as it is the estimated size of our target community each year who could need access to our services.
Each year around World Suicide Prevention Day (Sept 10th), we recruit 36 people or teams to take on the 36k Challenge, each with a fundraising target of £1000, so that together we can raise £36,000 to help us to continue to achieve our mission of supporting individuals bereaved by suicide!
You can walk, run, cycle , skip or swim 36km. You can do it alone or as part of a team (maybe even relay style!), and it’s flexible so that you can tailor it to your capabilities.

Join us for the #10before10 challenge. Let's keep it simple, walk 10,000 steps before 10am on the 10th of each month!
By taking part in this challenge you’ll get your dose of self-care, whilst raising money for Suicide&Co to support those bereaved by suicide by donating £10 to take part, either as a one off or every month!
We believe that together we can stride for better suicide bereavement support, stride to have braver conversations and stride with pride with our community, knowing that we are not alone.
