Every Sunday, for a couple of hours, I sit back down at my laptop to be a SHOUT volunteer. Every week, I aim to have conversations that take people back from the brink of life and help them find a sense of calm and hope. Every time I log off, the number of people waiting on line to be helped has gone up. This is so hard to see. Can you help us a little?

On May 26th, I’m jumping off a 300ft platform on the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth, high above the Solent to abseil down. I’m being a little bit brave but it takes huge courage to reach out to SHOUT. Be great to have you support courage. Thank you. Sx
