Story

PAPYRUS is the national Charity for the Prevention of Young Suicide.

Rocco was deeply moved by recent tragic events at his school. He is currently working toward an award at the school and one section asks him to raise money for a good cause. For Rocco there was no hesitation. he knew about Papyrus through his cycling club and knew immediately what he wanted to do without prompt or advice from others.

Suicide is the biggest killer of young people under the age of 35 in the UK, every year 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, HOPELINE247.

Every £5 raised can contribute towards a life-saving contact to HOPELINE247. Your donations really are lifesaving, thank you.
