Exmouth suicide bereavement charity Pete's Dragons has launched a video campaign highlighting the services it offers.

The Surviving Suicide campaign, which comes in the run up to World Suicide Prevention Day on Sunday (10 September), features people who have lost a loved one to suicide and received support from the charity.

Pete's Dragons offers one-to-one support sessions, financial aid, training in suicide prevention and mental wellbeing and more to people of all ages across Devon and also North Somerset.

The charity was founded in 2010 when CEO Alison Jordan's brother Pete died by suicide and she saw "a massive gap in services for those left behind".

The charity now employs over 20 people, delivering support services to over 200 beneficiaries at any one time.

You can follow the Surviving Suicide campaign on Facebook here.
