Suicide is the biggest killer of young people – male and female – under 35 in the UK. In 2015, 1,659 young people took their own lives. That equates to over four per day. Every year many thousands more attempt or contemplate suicide, harm themselves or suffer alone, afraid to speak openly about how they are feeling.

I am raising money for PAPYRUS;

PAPYRUS Vision

A society which speaks openly about suicide and has the resources to help young people who may have suicidal thoughts

PAPYRUS Mission

We exist to reduce the number of young people who take their own lives by shattering the stigma around suicide and equipping young people and their communities with the skills to recognise and respond to suicidal behaviour.

PAPYRUS Beliefs & Values

Beliefs that guide our thinking:
•PAPYRUS believes that many young suicides are preventable
•PAPYRUS believes that no young person should suffer alone with thoughts or feelings of hopelessness
•PAPYRUS believes that no one should have to go through the heartbreak of losing a loved one to suicide
•PAPYRUS believes that everyone can play a role in preventing young suicide.

I want to make a contribution To this changing, not only raising money, but by raising awareness and letting men every where know, that someone is always willing to listen.
