Raising money for The Listening Place

Royal Parks Half Marathon 2024 · 13 October 2024 ·

25 runners are taking on the 2024 Royal Parks Half to raise money for The Listening Place's face-to-face, ongoing support for people who feel life is no longer worth living. Help us raise £15,000 so that we can support 51 people who feel suicidal.

Story

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.
