While many services close at Christmas, ours stay open. We run Shout, the UK's only free, 24/7 crisis text service, and The Mix, the UK’s leading digital support for young people. Please donate and help us to support anyone experiencing anxiety, loneliness and suicidal thoughts at this time of year.

Feelings of anxiety, sadness, loneliness and worthlessness can intensify during the festive season. Of those using our services in December, more than a third of Shout texters report suicidal thoughts, and over 40% of young people using The Mix are worried about relationships and family. We’re here to help, 24/7.
Shout and The Mix are here for anyone in a mental health crisis or any young person looking for community and support, 365 days a year. By donating to us through the Big Give, your gift will be doubled and will help to ensure we stay accessible 24/7. “It’s nice to know you’re not alone at Christmas and there is help and support in such difficult times” – Shout texter.
