We are a small non-profit group, passionate about preventing suicide in their local community by raising awareness of suicide support services while reducing stigma around suicide.
Description
We've created a Suicide Prevention Information Directory to act as a lifeline for anyone having thoughts of self-harm and/or suicide. We distribute as many booklets as we can along with posters with a QR Code link to the online version.
The funding we're applying for would allow the group to:
Distribute more booklets and posters across the community
Reach more mental health organisations, local businesses, and education centres
Reach more people living with poor mental health and wellbeing due to isolation, bereavement, addiction, food insecurity, and the cost of living crisis
Reach those who have fallen through the net, the hardest to reach, the most marginalised
Build community spirit by attending mental health and public networking events and coordinating training and holding events
The funding we're applying for would be spent as follows:
Poster Production costs (printing and laminating)
Travel, Event and Training costs
Promotional Materials for networking and public events including:
Branded Pens
Branded Keyrings/Trolley Tokens
Branded Tops
Branded Banner
Location: We set up in 2019 as we had all been touched by suicide in some way and wanted to make a difference to our communities most vulnerable. Suicide rates are still high in the three towns area, as are deprivation, addiction and isolation.
