Fortieth of 40 Donations

by | posted in: Uncategorized | 0

The Fortieth of my 40 donations goes to the Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM).

CALM are united against suicide. That means standing against feeling shit, standing up to stereotypes, and standing together to show life is always worth living.

CALM help to make sure everyone gets the support they need, no matter what.

125 lives are lost every week to suicide. And 75% of all UK suicides are male.

CALM aim to change that by provoking conversation, running life-saving services, and bringing people together so they reject living miserably, get help when they need it and don’t die by suicide.

What is CALM?
£8 funds one potentially life-saving call – CALM’s helpline and webchat staff talk to hundreds of people every day about whatever they’re facing.

If you need someone to talk to, CALM have a helpline that is open 5pm until midnight 365 days a year:
