When I Grow Up...

“Thank goodness I got the support when I did... Imagine all of the things I would have missed.”

Take a stance against youth suicide.
​
This June, as part of Big Give Small Charity Week, we are so excited to launch our new campaign, When I Grow Up.
This campaign is a celebration of dreams, resilience, and all the little and big things young people go on to achieve when they’re given the right support at the right time. But it’s also a call to action.
Youth suicide is now the leading cause of death in under 35s, and rates are the highest they’ve been since 1999. This isn’t just a statistic, it is a sign that too many young people are suffering in silence.
We believe this can change.
We know that early intervention saves lives.
​
This campaign is inspired by the moments that you might never get without help.

Every single one of these moments matter.
And every young person deserves the chance to grow into who they’re meant to be.
£5,000 → £10,000
Our fundraising aim for this campaign is £5,000, to be automatically doubled to £10,000.
This target will allow us to reach another 1,000 children and young people, helping them before they hit crisis point.
Last year we reached 1,034 young people, so imagine the impact we could make to reach this target in a single week.
