Caroline's fundraiser for The Listening Place

Caroline Booth is raising money for The Listening Place
In memory of Sarah Anderson

3058 mile walk and cycle (distance from London to Jerusalem)

Suicide kills 19 people a day in the UK, but free, effective support is increasingly hard to access. We offer fortnightly 50-minute sessions with a carefully trained volunteer, allowing people to talk openly about their suicidal feelings in a welcoming and completely confidential setting.

Story

I'm aiming to cover 3058 miles, the distance from my house to Jerusalem, between 1 May and my Batmitzvah in September 2027. Any donations would be gratefully received and help to spur me on in supporting a charity close to my heart.

In the UK we lose someone to suicide every 80 minutes and it is the leading cause of death in men under the age of 50 and in all adults under 35. Despite this, effective support is hard to find.

The Listening Place (TLP) meets this need by providing free, face-to-face, ongoing support to those who feel suicidal. And they know that their support works, with visitors reporting a highly-significant reduction in how suicidal they feel after 3 and 6 months of support.
