As many as 1 in 5 people will experience suicidal thoughts, and as many as 1 in 15 will attempt to take their own life. (Data sourced from mind.org.uk, with the disclaimer that actual figures may be higher)

Support and help are so important to prevent tragic loss of life. SAMH provides this support through various means: their information helpline, physical and horticultural therapies, wellbeing workshops, and suicide prevention courses.

I’m taking part in the Kiltwalk this year in an effort to raise as many funds as possible for SAMH. If you’ve any spare cash going please consider helping me out and donating to this vital cause.
