Friends of Tom Rankin Memorial Football Match for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably)

Memorial Football Match · 27 July 2025
We lost our beloved Tom to suicide in 2022. We miss him desperately and our lives will never be the same again. His friends are coming together again this year to remember him and raise money for CALM. Please help us support their life-saving helpline for people who can’t see a way forward, have lost someone to suicide, or are worried about their friends or loved ones.
£12.20 is enough to fund one potentially life-saving call.
200,000 ..... that’s how many suicide attempts there are each year. It’s a massive number. Just think of how many people could fill the O2 arena. Then times it by 10.
125 …. .people die by suicide every week in the UK. That’s 18 people a day. One every 90 minutes – the same amount of time as a football match (without all the extra time).
#1 ..... Suicide is the biggest killer in men under 45. And the suicide rate for young women under 24 has seen the steepest increase since records began. But it doesn’t have to be this way.
