Story
The leading cause of death for men under the age of 45 in the UK isn't drugs, knife crime, gun crime, or traffic accidents, it is suicide. There are over 6,000 deaths by suicide in the UK every year – an average of 16 per day.
The Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) is an award-winning charity dedicated to preventing male suicide, the single biggest killer of men under the age of 45 in the UK. In 2015, 75% of all UK suicides were male.
CALM offers support to men via a anonymous helpline open 5pm - midnight, 365 days a year on 0800 58 58 58.
Any donation is greatly appreciated, and will go towards helping fund CALM in a variety of ways, your donation can help do the following;
- £7 can pay for one call that could save a life.
- £23 pays for someone to take calls for an hour.
- £80 pays for our website for a day.
