This year, the theme was ‘Take a minute, change a life’. We decided to engage the public through quick, fun minute challenges such as table tennis and circus skills, Grassroots got people talking about suicide prevention and helped them understand what they can do to help.
The theme for this year was "Connect, Communicate & Care". We had a stall at Brighton Station, a community safeTALK suicide prevention course, resource marketplace, and influential guest speakers.
*** This crowdfunder closed on 14 October 2016 *** Grassroots would like to say a BIG thank you to everyone who raised awareness, backed this campaign and supported Grassroots.
This campaign focuses on encouraging male friends to look out for each other. The aim is to foster open and direct conversations about any concerns, including thoughts of suicide and mental health issues.
