24 hour podcast to raise money for CALM · 27 January 2024

DUCFS 2024 is fundraising for CALM, a charity that offers life-saving services, provokes national conversation and brings people together to take a stand against suicide, and DUCFS Launchpad, our brand new independent creative outreach platform.

Story

‼️PODCAST LIVESTREAM‼️: https://www.twitch.tv/121oyinangelo

Having reflected on 40 years of DUCFS last year, for our 2024 campaign - Age of Inception - DUCFS are delighted to be partnering with Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) to support them in taking a stand against suicide and striving to create a better future.

DUCFS 2024 hopes to raise enough to fund 2 extra phone lines on CALM's helpline, which could allow 19,574 more potentially life-saving phone calls annually, as well as an educational campaign in the North East, which has the highest rate of suicides in England. This campaign will seek to educate young people in the region on the risks of suicide and how to seek support.

Our 2024 campaign will also be supporting DUCFS Launchpad. This is our new independent outreach platform that aims to ignite change throughout the North East, through projects focused on the creative arts, music and community.

Angelo and I will be running a 24hr podcast from 1pm 27th January to 1pm 28th January. We will be talking all things from mental health to social commentary and we will also be playing games! There will also be loads of interesting guests joining us! Please please donate to help CALM support those struggling with their mental health. It’s a pressing issue and we want to do the best we can to ensure we can impact as many lives as possible.
