PAPYRUS is the national Charity for the Prevention of Young Suicide. Suicide is the biggest killer of young people under the age of 35 in the UK, in 2018 over 1800 young people took their own lives. 

Many members of AWTE have faced issues with wellbeing and mental health particularly in the last two years.  We wanted to support a charity this year which encourages our young talent to talk about their challenges and struggles but also to educate their support network in how to help when someone reaches out.

PAPYRUS provides confidential support and advice to young people struggling with thoughts of suicide, and anyone worried about a young person through their helpline, HOPELINEUK. Every £5 raised can help pay for a life-saving contact to HOPELINEUK. Your donations really are lifesaving, thank you.
