Support After Suicide, run by Sharon Chapman, Vicky Stevenson, Trish Buck, Tracy Moran, and Pauline Smith, is hosting a Vintage & Christmas Fair this Sunday from noon to 4pm at Briercliffe Community Centre in Jubilee Street, Burnley.

The proceeds will help pay for bereavement counselling at Pendleside Hospice for anyone who has lost someone to suicide.
