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.
Join Team Grassroots at the Brighton Half Marathon
We’re proud to be an official Pier Charity Partner for the Brighton Half Marathon 2026, and we’d love you to be part of it.
On Sunday 1st March, take on 13.1 miles of Brighton’s iconic seafront in one of the UK’s most scenic and popular races. Every step you take helps raise vital funds to support our suicide prevention work across the UK.
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or taking on your first big challenge, you’ll receive free entry, a branded running vest, and full fundraising support, all while joining a passionate community committed to preventing suicide.
Not a runner? There are plenty of ways to get involved. We’re also looking for volunteers to support on the day and photographers to capture the event. Every role makes a difference.
Be part of something meaningful.

Preventing suicide in Barnet
Our latest suicide prevention campaign with the London Borough of Barnet has come to a close, and it’s our most impactful yet.
This year’s campaign, focused on reaching South Asian communities, reached over 3 million people and resulted in nearly 2,000 downloads of our award-winning Stay Alive app.
Now in its third year, our partnership with Barnet has made a lasting difference. Our previous campaign, independently evaluated by Middlesex University, was estimated to have helped save up to ten lives by increasing awareness, app engagement, and access to support.
We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve achieved together and grateful to everyone who made this possible.
Finalists at the Brighton and Hove Business Awards
We’re proud to announce that Grassroots Suicide Prevention is a finalist in the ‘Local Hero’ category at the 2025 Brighton and Hove Business Awards.
This award recognises organisations making a positive and lasting impact in the local community and beyond, and we’re honoured to be listed alongside other inspiring changemakers.
The winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 17th September at St. Peter’s Church, Brighton. Wish us luck!
Free suicide prevention training
We work closely with local authorities to provide free mental health and suicide prevention training for those supporting vulnerable people in Islington, Brighton and Hove, and East Sussex.
Whether you belong to a community group, volunteer organisation, or frontline service, our courses are designed to equip you with the skills and confidence needed to help someone struggling with suicidal thoughts.
Equipping schools with life-saving training
Our free Breaking the Silence teaching resources have already been downloaded by over 100 schools, and with suicide prevention soon becoming a compulsory part of Relationships, Sex, and Health Education curriculum in England, our award-winning training is more important than ever.
Designed for students aged 14 and above, the course helps young people recognise signs of suicidal thoughts, speak up, and access support. It’s evidence-based, quality assured, and fully aligned with the PSHE Association framework.
To help teachers feel confident delivering the material, we’re running a free webinar on 16 September, covering how the course works, exploring the resources, and answering common questions.
Together, we can equip young people with the tools and confidence to support themselves and each other.
