We only exist thanks to the generosity of those who donate or fundraise to support our work in helping to prevent suicides.
Simply put, each month is about sustainability – can we continue to operate next month and the month after and the month after that?
Our Mission is to move towards a “Zero Suicide Society”; one which is willing and able to do all it can to prevent all preventable suicides.
The Challenge we all face
Imagine the entire population the size of the City Birmingham (UK) all being referred to NHS Mental Health Services in a single year – in January 2023, the NHS reported that the number of young people being referred to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) had exceeded 1 million – a record high!

Each year in the UK more people die by suicide than the total audience capacity of the Royal Albert Hall in London (5,272). 6000+ people die by suicide each year in the UK, that’s 120 every week. 75% of these deaths are men, 200 are school children, 100 are university students. Suicide is currently the biggest killer of men and women under 35.
How you can make a difference
By supporting our efforts, to prevent all preventable suicides, you will become part of the solution.
Not everyone will experience a suicide loss, but 2 out of 3 people in the UK have, at some point in their lives, been impacted by such a death. The Phillip family, like so many others, had no idea it might happen to them.
