Story
We are all doing something fun in our branches to raise
awareness on mental health and suicide prevention, while raising money for
grassroots - the suicide prevention and mental health charity. We are having an orange day, where we will be asking our colleagues to wear orange and
donate 1 pound towards grassroots (orange is the colour of the charity)
Wearing orange on this day will help us get the conversation around suicide prevention
and mental health started with you, our members. We are raising money for an important cause at such a crucial time when people are suffering the most as a
result of the pandemic, which has had adverse effects such as
unemployment, anxiety, loneliness, losing loved ones and financial
difficulties.

Each death by suicide is a tragedy that rocks our communities. And yet today, 400 people in the UK will attempt suicide. Of those, 18 will die. But together, there is hope. Grassroots Suicide Prevention work so that people like you can keep us all safer from suicide. They give people the skills and confidence they need to spot and support those in crisis. Together, we can prevent suicide - with Grassroots' support, anyone can become a lifesaver. Support my fundraising event to save lives.
