Situation
We still lose an average of 18 people to suicide every single day in the UK. The rate of suicide in the UK is as high now as it was twenty years ago and it remains the biggest killer of all adults under the age of 35. Despite great leaps forward in terms of mental health awareness, support for suicidal feelings is not widely available to people.
Solution
We will solve the problem by providing free, face-to-face, 100% confidential support to people struggling with suicidal feelings. All of this support will be delivered by highly trained volunteers and it will be tailored specifically to the needs of those struggling with suicidal feelings. This means we will have no waiting list, we will offer support for up to a year, it will be completely confidential and we will focus on suicidal feelings at every session.
