We Need Your Help

When you or someone you know attempts suicide, suffers severe depression or is affected by mental illness, the last thing you want is to cope alone.

White Wreath Association recognises this and offers assistance to bridge the gap between organisations and individuals.

White Wreath is a non-denominational, non-political and anti-discriminatory body supporting people who have been directly affected by suicide and those who are affected by mental illness/disorders.

White Wreath relies on public contributions to continue its aims, goals and endeavours.

White Wreath needs your help. Please help White Wreath by making a donation.
