CALM is leading a movement against suicide, the single biggest killer of men aged under 45 in the UK and the cause of 18 deaths every day.
CALM’s support services include a free and confidential helpline and webchat for anyone who needs to talk about life’s problems. Just £8, funds one potentially life-saving call to the CALM helpline. #Powerof8
During this time of world and national struggle, people are facing more stresses than ever. The number of calls CALM are receiving are on the rise, but the charity's funding is decreasing!
CALM's incredible helpline staff have answered 19,249 calls and webchats, and directly prevented 80 suicides since lockdown was announced.
CALM’s recent nationwide survey showed that 43% of people felt that the current Coronavirus pandemic and the UK lockdown has had a significant negative impact on how they feel every day.
No matter what your worry, concern or crisis, whether you’re uncertain about your circumstances or confused over what steps you need to take, their professional helpline staff are there to talk to you from 5pm to midnight every single day.
For this life-saving help to continue, CALM needs our support! So We are following the #Powerof8 theme and riding to the elevation of 8880 meters on Zwift.
