In 2024 there were 6,894 registered suicides in the UK, and suicide is the leading cause of death among young people aged 20 to 34. It is a terrible thing that affects not just the person struggling, but also countless friends and family members.

Grassroots Suicide Prevention is a UK-based charity that works to prevent suicide by empowering people to have life-saving conversations and reduce the stigma of talking about these taboo conversations.

As someone who has struggled with their mental health, this charity means a lot to me and I have loved learning about the essential work they do.
