Take a stance against youth suicide. 

​

In June 2025 we launched our campaign, When I Grow Up, as part of Big Give Small Charity Week

 

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.

​

£5,000  to  £10,000

We did it! Thanks to you!

Our fundraising target for this campaign was £5,000, automatically doubled to £10,000 ... and we’re thrilled to share that we reached our goal.

​

This incredible support means we can now reach another 1,000 children and young people, offering help before they hit crisis point.

​

Last year, we supported 1,034 young people across the entire year, so reaching this number in just one week is a huge milestone.

 

Thank you for making it possible.

This campaign was 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.

A big thank you to everyone who helped us reach our goal!
