To raise Money for The Listening Place Mark & Jennifer will be running a series of 3 races. Starting with Dark Valley 10k on 18th November, followed by a second 10k race at Mapperton Muddle on 9th December and ending with a 10 Mile race at Dark Moors on 27th January
In the UK we lose someone to suicide every 80 minutes and it is the highest 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.
To date TLP has supported 14000 people and aims to support 6000 this year.
Every £293 raised for TLP fully funds our support of one of our visitors for as long as it takes to reduce their suicidal feelings, providing them with potentially life-saving support.
