Story

I’ve known too many people who’s life has been harmed by suicide, too many young people who have sadly thought that the best way to solve their problems was to commit suicide, and too many friends whose family has been affected by someone committing or attempting to commit suicide. Papyrus tries to prevent young people under the age of 35 trying to take their own lives. A donation of £5 will pay for a life-saving contact to HOPELINEUK. Thanks everyone for your wonderful support.

PAPYRUS is the national Charity for the Prevention of Young Suicide. Suicide is the biggest killer of young people under the age of 35 in the UK, in 2018 over 1800 young people took their own lives. PAPYRUS provides confidential support and advice to young people struggling with thoughts of suicide, and anyone worried about a young person through their helpline, HOPELINEUK. Every £5 raised can help pay for a life-saving contact to HOPELINEUK. Your donations really are lifesaving, thank you.
