Value
Our teams of Volunteers go out in all weather's onto the streets to chat with people and offer support where it's needed.
We have support available by phone to aid our teams and guide them into areas where calls come from. We work with cctv operators to give assistance if required.
We offer support to families that are struggling and at risk to loss of life, mental health problems of many that are struggling. Loss of lives through this has been increased around 10000%. We offer support 24/7 through our support centre and our trained support teams, we also use our outreach teams to be available to visit people at home. We offer support for all ages and diversities in hope of saving lives from suicide. The more areas we can cover the more we can support,
We work with the police and other teams to help with suicidal people to get the help that is needed quickly and without harm.
Your support is vital to us to continue the work we do and the service we provide to save lives
