Aligning your brand messaging and design

In communications around suicide, we know language matters. Over such a deeply emotional and traumatic subject, getting the words right is hugely important. Our words have to be thoughtful and non-stigmatising. Design also plays a vital complementary role. The way in which those words appear on a leaflet or website page, needs to be set out in an appropriately understanding and supportive way.

We have recently started working with Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide (SoBS), a charity which offers peer-to-peer support to all those over the age of 18, impacted by suicide loss in the UK. They carry out a hugely important role for those bereaved by suicide in supporting each other, at the time of their loss and in the months and years that follow. 

At Touch Design we work with organisations that benefit society, and the role of Survivors of Bereavement by Suicide is crucial, running peer-led support groups, online virtual support groups and a telephone support line among other services. We have supported SoBS with a range of materials and templates to ensure that their work has the right look and feel across all channels, digital and print. The products provided include banner stands, an information brochure and Canva leaflet templates, all in line with brand style guidelines.

We have worked with clients in the mental health sector for nearly two decades and were really pleased to be asked by SoBS to support them in their valuable work and we look forward to extending this relationship in the future. If you are looking for a design partner, one that shares your values, who will work to understand your culture and ways of working, then please get in touch with us. Every great new partnership starts with a friendly chat.

“Working with Touch Design has given our resources a real breath of fresh air. They took the time to understand who we are as a charity, what we stand for, and the sensitivity that comes with our work. The materials they have created are beautifully crafted and feel like a true reflection of SoBS”. Charlotte Dyer, Supporter Engagement Manager
