Raising funds to provide immediate therapy for those at risk of suicide! Current waiting lists are c5 months on the NHS and many do not have this long to wait - therefore we look to action within 24 hours to ensure those in need get immediate support

Story

Every day in the UK, 18 people take their own life. That's 18 people who feel their only option is to no longer carry on.

Suicide is and remains the the biggest killer of men aged under 45 - and this has to change!

Current NHS waiting lists for mental health support are c5 months, and many simply do not have this long to wait, taking their own life whilst waiting for help.

Every penny we raise goes towards supporting those at risk of suicide by funding an initial 6 private counselling sessions within 24 hours.

For those in need, this can literally be the difference between life and death.

To date we have funded therapy for over 100 amazingly brave individuals and with your generosity, we hope to help even more
