125 people die by suicide in the UK every week. That's not okay. That's why this October, I'm taking part in CALMs Lost Hours Walk, to join people across the country in smashing the silence around suicide. The money I raise will be going towards CALM's life-saving services, so they can be there for anyone struggling, no matter what.
During the pandemic a lot of friends and family moved to the working from home full time lifestyle, I have seen how lonely and difficult it was for many people to adjust and live their life’s surrounded by the same 4 walls day in and out. I personally reached out to people through various social media to reinforce they were not alone during the pandemic.
This walk is a great opportunity to get outside, speak amongst friends, help challenge stigmas and stereotypes, and raise vital money to keep CALMs services running.
