Mental Health Support & Suicide Prevention
24 Hour support 0300 365 0019
We were founded in October 2019 by the side of a fishing lake in Ashby, by Rick Roberts & Mick Leyland, the reason being the loss of a fellow fishermen to suicide. This prompted us to start a support group as both Rick and Mick have been through similar experiences in life. what started out as just a simple support group has now grown into a great support network supporting mental health and suicide prevention. Since then, our activities have grown, prospered and expanded.
