When Grace Dear lost her life to suicide earlier this year, her family was devastated.

Now they are using that horrible moment to hopefully make a difference in someone else's life.

That's why they started to the Grace Dear Trust, to raise awareness of mental health issues and let others know there is always somewhere to turn.

"Grace had been suffering with depression and anxiety from the age of 11 but hadn’t felt she could reach out to anyone to help her make sense of her feelings," the family said in a statement.

"Not knowing why, she suffered in silence for many years."

To make their dream of being able to help others who suffer in silence a reality, a charity music festival has been organised.

"We want to be able to fund seminars in schools, where guest speakers help young people understand the importance of mental well-being," the family said.

"We want to fund counsellors to visit schools, giving young people the help, they need promptly and in an environment that isn’t intimidating.

"We also want to create a local network of professionals that young adults can reach out to. Most importantly, we want to let children know that 'it’s OK not to be OK' and to help end the stigma and get people talking."

The event is taking place on Saturday, June 30 at Esher rugby club in Hersham, with the doors opening at 2pm.
