Wainwrights 'Coast to Coast' Run - fundraiser for James' Place · 1 September 2025

Our mission is to save the lives of men in suicidal crisis. Since opening in 2018, we’ve helped over 4,300 suicidal men access free, life-saving therapy at our centres in Liverpool, London and Newcastle. 75% of deaths by suicide are men, but suicides are preventable. Donate today to help save lives.

Story

We're running Wainwright’s Coast to Coast in September!

A whopping 190 miles over 5 consecutive days.....and sleeping rough in the process.

More than just smashing miles, this one is about smashing limits...physical, mental and emotional....raising money for James’ Place, a charity that supports men in suicidal crisis!

In the UK, suicide is still the single leading cause of death of men under 50. James' Place provides free, professional therapy for men in suicidal crisis to help them find hope for the future.

• £250 enables an outreach session in a workplace or community setting, reaching more men in need.
