About Grassroots Suicide Prevention

Grassroots Suicide Prevention logo

We have lived experience of suicide. We know what it is like to be in crisis. We understand the pressure of trying to keep someone safe and the complex emotions including guilt, shock, and intense grief after a suicide.

We empower people to help save lives from suicide through connecting, educating, and campaigning nationally.

Our training teaches the knowledge, skills and confidence needed to support those at risk of suicide.

We work with organisations across the UK to deliver our life-saving training in suicide prevention, mental health and self-harm.

The Big Give 2023 is a huge national campaign which helps charities like us to DOUBLE their donations for one week.

This means that every donation at our special campaign link between Nov 28th – Dec 5th will be doubled up to a target of £4,000.
