News and updates from Grassroots Suicide Prevention
Two months into 2026 and we’re already off to a remarkable start. From award recognition and impactful campaigns to frontline training and record-breaking fundraising events – none of it would be possible without our incredible supporters, partners, and volunteers. Thank you.
We are incredibly proud to share that we have won the Inclusive Excellence in Co-production Award at the Sussex Co-production Conference for our work establishing and developing the Suicide Prevention Lived Experience Advisory Group (SP LEAG) over the past two years.
We are thrilled to share that Grassroots Suicide Prevention has been shortlisted for the Digital Revolution Awards in the Tech for Good category, a national award recognising organisations using technology to create meaningful social impact.
For World Suicide Prevention Day 2025, we want to shine a light on the work we’re doing to save more lives from suicide. From creating tailored resources and sharing experiences, to delivering training and community initiatives, every project is designed to prevent suicide and help build a world where fewer lives are lost and more people feel connected and supported.
As we pass the halfway point of 2025, we’re grateful to everyone supporting our mission to create real and lasting change. From inspiring fundraising challenges and groundbreaking campaigns to innovative training and community partnerships, every effort is helping us save lives and support those affected by suicide.
As a valued supporter, you are at the heart of everything we do. Looking back on the impact we made in 2024 and the strides we’ve already taken in 2025, we’re proud to share some important updates with you.
As 2024 draws to a close, we’d like to celebrate the incredible support from our amazing community. Your ongoing dedication and generosity have been pivotal in helping us grow, make progress, and create a real impact this year.
Grassroots Suicide Prevention has partnered with 2XU, the Brighton Marathon 2022 Weekend Sports Apparel partner. As an organisation, 2XU want to create a fitter and healthier world both physically and mentally. This year, they are helping to raise awareness and funds for Grassroots Suicide Prevention.
Best-selling author, Matt Haig, will be donating over £7,000 of the proceeds of his latest book, The Comfort Book to Grassroots Suicide Prevention.
With the Brighton Marathon round the corner, we caught up with four of our incredible Grassroots Runners: Nina, Steven, Lucy, and John. They spoke to us about the ups and downs of training for a marathon, whether there have been any surprises along the way and how they’re feeling about the big day.
At Grassroots, we’re delighted to announce Rachael Swann as our new CEO.
In September, our friend and supporter Natty will be cycling solo from Brighton 2000 miles around the UK. Find out about his challenge and what it means to him.
