One person dies by suicide every 40 seconds (WHO 2019) & 'Suicide is the biggest killer of Men under 45' (CALM 2020)

These statistics are truly shocking! The questions around how do we reduce these figures all lead to seeking help and support early. You may ask 'how do we know if someone needs help?', and the majority of the time, we don't. But its so important to offer your ear, "Talk" and really emphasise the question 'How are you?'

Why shine a light?!?!

# It represents there is a hope and light in the darkness

# It represents being seen

# It represents that your light is on to anyone in need

By shining a light, you are acknowledging the seriousness of mental health issues often leading to Suicide.

Shine a light with Lamp between the 10th September - 10th October to show you are there to lend an ear and support friends, family, colleagues and anyone in need.
