In April 13 th Myself , Becky and Michelle will being completing a 24 Km walk for PAPYRUS along the Kennet and Avon Canal around the lovely area of Bedwyn

In addition to this I will I’ll be walking / jogging 24km every week in April , roping in family , friends and The kids along the way .

Working for PAPYRUS gives me an insight into what a life saving service HOPELINE247 is and I want to do what I can to ensure this service contours long into the future .

Every three minutes, a young person in distress reaches out to HOPELINE247, PAPYRUS' suicide prevention helpline. These calls, texts, and messages come during their darkest hours—often in the middle of the night, when other services aren’t available to them.

Since extending HOPELINE247 to operate 24/7 last year, demand has surged. In 2024 alone, PAPYRUS had 12,000 life-saving interactions during the night and saw a 66% increase in the number of young people seeking help through the webchat service. HOPELINE247 is vital and life saving but rising costs and a sharp drop in donations across the charity sector have brought them to a critical moment and I want to help.

Please donate to support PAPYRUS Prevention of Young Suicide.

Thank you
