A SUPPORT group which helps families affected by suicide will celebrate its second anniversary later this year.

The Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide group or SOBS has helped hundreds of families affected by suicide since it was established in August 2001.

SOBS meets on the third Thursday evening of each month and is staging a charity night to raise funds for a Support Day in September.

The charity event starts at 7.30pm on July 19 at Our Lady of Lourdes Club, Plodder Lane, Farnworth and will feature a karaoke/disco, raffle prizes and guest singer Tina Summers. Tickets cost £3.
