Guides for those bereaved by suicide in the Armed Forces community

 

Suicide Bereavement UK have developed a series of At Your Side guides for those bereaved by suicide in the Armed Forces community.

Three guides have been written by the bereaved for the bereaved:
  • At Your Side guide for Veterans
  • At Your Side guide for families
  • At Your Side guide for Serving Personnel
Both the veteran and family guide were launched on the 17th April 2024. The Serving Personnel guide will be launched at the Suicide Bereavement UK Conference on 26th Sep 2024.

Gloucestershire: 'The Robin' bookable bus service

 

Department for Transport (DfT) funding helped launch The Robin pilot, which currently operates in the Forest of Dean and the North Cotswolds. This pilot is now expanding into parts of Tewkesbury, Berkeley Vale and the South Cotswolds thanks to extra DfT funding of over £1.5million over two years.

The Robin is a local, friendly bookable bus service where passengers search for their ideal journey and book a pickup and drop off location that suits them.

It's affordable at only £2 per journey and connects passengers with transport links such as bus stops or directly to a location if there are no other transport options available.

The Robin improves connections between rural areas which often have infrequent or no other transport available. By offering this it increases access to services and the wider transport network in the county, expanding access to employment, education, healthcare and shopping.
