On Saturday, 14th October I am taking part in the Teneo South Coast Walking Challenge, testing my endurance and strength, to support Samaritans.

This is an important cause for me as one of my friends who has been displaced by war in Ukraine has been relying on Samaritans, whilst struggling with PTSD and other mental health challenges.

Teneo are proud to be supporting Samaritans until 2026 to help people who are struggling to cope.

Every life lost to suicide is a tragedy, and Samaritans' vision is that fewer people die by suicide. We believe that suicide can be prevented.

Every 90 minutes, someone in the UK or Ireland takes their own life.

Samaritans is here for anyone struggling to cope. We take action to prevent people reaching crisis point. We make sure there's someone there for anyone who needs someone. We give people the skills to look after their own mental and emotional health and wellbeing, build resilience, and support others. We campaign to make suicide prevention a priority.

Samaritans is a charity working across the UK and Ireland, and we need donations to help fund our life-saving work.
