As part of the celebration for the 50th anniversary of Persimmon Homes, all Persimmon Homes employees are invited to participate in a wellbeing challenge should they choose to. The challenge will involve collectively travelling 50,000 miles in a 6 week period. This can be accomplished through a wide range of activities, including but not limited to; walking, running and wheelchair sports. We hope that this will encourage people to think about changes they can make in their own lives to support their wellbeing and positive mental health.

Persimmon Homes are supporting the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) who are taking a stand against suicide. This means standing against feeling rubbish, standing up to stereotypes, and standing together to show life is always worth living.

125 lives are lost every week to suicide. And 75% of all UK suicides are male. CALM exists to change this.

CALM do it by provoking conversation, running life-saving services, and bringing people together so they reject living miserably, get help when they need it and don't die by suicide.

In 2021, CALM answered over 155,000 calls and webchats. That's more than 1 million minutes of talking to people who need them. This achievement has only been possible thanks to the generosity of CALMs extraordinary supporters.

It costs just £8 to fund a potentially life saving call or webchat. Stand with Persimmon Homes and CALM and help us save lives.
