Story

So, I'm going to shave off my hair and look like an idiot/Kevin Phillips.

But it's all for an amazing cause. The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is leading a movement against suicide, the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. 

And our work is needed now more than ever. Every new announcement from the government has resulted in a peak on our helpline. Since lockdown was announced our amazing helpline staff have answered 16,791 calls and webchats, and directly prevented 59 suicides. Shaving my locks off doesn't that bigger deal in comparison. The £352 I'm trying to raise would help answer 44 potentially life-saving calls so please donate whatever you can.
