Bournemouth’s Resonate Choir features on a festive song for a suicide prevention TV advert.
Currently running on Sky, YouTube and Spotify, it highlights how some people find Christmas difficult and encourages them to reach out for help.
Jayne Lewis, Resonate’s Choir Director, arranged the backing vocals for the choir on the single from the charity SOS Silence of Suicide.
Music producer Lorna James wrote the song called ‘Find Your Light’ and says this time of year can be a struggle for many.
She told Bournemouth One: “There are lots of people who do, or don’t, celebrate Christmas but are struggling significantly with their mental health.
“They become a bit more invisible to us at this time of year because we’re so busy trying to get everything else perfect for everybody.
“The song is about we’re here for you as a charity and we want to support people through these dark days of Christmas to find your light.”
SOS Silence of Suicide was founded in May 2015 following the founder’s losses to suicide.
It offers face to face support groups as well as a free support helpline.
