Story
In the UK we lose someone to suicide every 75 minutes and it is the leading cause of death in men under the age of 50 and in all adults under 35. Despite this, effective support is hard to find.
The Listening Place (TLP) meets this need by providing free, face-to-face, ongoing support to those who feel suicidal. The support they provide has a big positive impact, with visitors reporting a highly-significant reduction in how suicidal they feel after 3 and 6 months of support.
Our goal? To raise £50,000—enough to train 100 new volunteers, who in turn will support 1,200 people in crisis in one year.
Join us on Thursday, 12th June, for a 10km walk along the Thames in London, ending with well-earned drinks at a pub.
Let’s walk, listen, and make a difference—together.
