I’m dedicating 24 minutes of activity a day in July to help prevent suicide through the power of human connection.

I have chosen to set up a Facebook Page to help to encourage & inspire people to help them to feel more positive about life, post inspirational quotes, trusted articles, helplines, anything that contibutes to support people's mental health in positive ways. I will pay for Facebook adverts to reach out to strangers with the page. I pledge 24 minutes a day from the 1st to the 27th of July. In memory of Paul, Alice, Billie, Dave & Lawrence... & all those I don't know who left the stage before the end of the song. I will aim to raise money for the Samaritans to help fund the incredible work they do (including helping me many times in the past during my darkest days following trauma). Tomorrow is a new day, and I want to do my tiny part in helping others reach their new day.

I’ve included more information about Samaritans and their lifesaving work below.

Thank you 💚
