Clive has done it again. BIFD raise at total of £4775 for Leek Samaritans
Each year, the National President of the British Institute of Funeral Directors (BIFD) selects a charity that resonates with the profession's values of compassion and care. This year we were so honoured that President Clive chose to stand beside Leek Branch of Samaritans.
Earlier in the year Clive said to us "In our line of work, we are often the ones called upon when a life is lost to suicide. We see the devastating impact on families, the unanswered questions, and the profound grief left behind. Because we witness the finality of these tragedies, we feel a deep, professional responsibility to help prevent them.
We know that a single conversation can be the difference between life and death. By supporting Samaritans, we are helping to ensure that when someone is in their darkest hour, there is always a voice at the end of the line to offer hope."
Clive and his team have certainly turned this aspiration into action. Earlier this year Clive walked the Yorkshire 3-peaks and raised £2500 under our banner. He has now raised a further £2275 through a raffle and a generous donation at the BIFD end of year conference.
We, at Leek Samaritans, want to say a huge "THANK YOU" to Clive and to all at the BIFD, for thinking of us and raising funds to keep our phone lines open. You are absolute STARS, thank you so much.
