Together, we can
Raise awareness and funds to enhance mental health support for Orkney’s young people.
About us
Our charity was born out of a deeply
personal tragedy: the loss of a beloved
child, Soma L. Veres, to suicide at the
young age of 15.
In February 2022, we experienced the
heart breaking loss of a child, Soma, who
was unable to access the critical mental
health support he needed in Orkney.
At that time, there were very limited
support services available for young
people in our community.

Gregor’s Challenge raises £4,200 for Soma’s Light!
