Route 101 are joining the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) in their movement against suicide, the cause of death for 125 people every week in the UK and the single biggest killer of men under 50 and young people in the UK.
This year Route 101 are supporting the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM), a charity that is 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.
Someone in the UK dies by suicide every 90 minutes. CALM exists to change this.
CALM is a suicide prevention charity fighting to reduce the devastating impact of suicide in the UK. They run a life-saving helpline for anyone affected by suicide or suicidal thoughts. It’s free, anonymous and open from 5 pm to midnight every day.
Their website has loads of tools and resources packed with practical, non-clinical advice to make talking and managing mental health easier.
CALM also run vital campaigns to increase awareness, smash stereotypes, and change the culture around mental health and suicide.
In 2023, CALM answered over 160,000 calls and webchats. That's more than 3 million minutes of talking to people who need them. This achievement has only been possible thanks to the generosity of CALM's extraordinary supporters.
It costs just £12.20 to pay for a life-saving call to CALM's suicide prevention helpline.
Stand with Route 101 and CALM and help us save lives.
