Suicide&Co is a UK charity dedicated to supporting people who have been bereaved by suicide.
Co-Founded by Amelia Wrighton (DH 2010), Suicide&Co provide counselling, resources, and support, helping people navigate the devastating effects of losing someone to suicide.
On Thursday 27th November 2025, beneath the breath-taking arches of the Natural History Museum, they’re hosting their first-ever Breaking the Ice Ball; an evening of connection, compassion, and celebration. Guests will enjoy a decadent three-course meal, dazzling entertainment, an unforgettable auction, and the chance to dance the night away in one of London’s most iconic venues, all while supporting our mission to shatter the stigma surrounding suicide and grief.
It's not just one alumna involved, Amy Ropner (DH 2010) and Phoebe Fox (Jervis, DH 2010) were founding Trustees, Lara Arnott (DH 2010) will be the photographer on the night, and more Downe House alumna are volunteering to help too... which really goes to show the strong connections made here at school last beyond Downe House!
There are a few tables left for anyone interested in supporting this meaningful cause and they're also welcoming auction prizes. To get in touch please email info@suicideandco.org, or DM Amelia.
