You Hero, You Legend!

Thank you for donating to CALM. We couldn’t continue without people like you.

Please have a good look around our site, “Like” something, recommend it to your friends, sign up, comment and spread the word. With over 900 families affected by young male suicides every year in the UK – we need to spread the word far and wide.

You are a star! Thank you…

Bottling everything up can become self destructive and as men we can be socially awkward. CALM offers a way to break the silence.

More Than Words: Don’t Give Up, Peter Gabriel 1986

Peter Gabriel’s ‘Don’t Give Up’. Originally written about economic hardship. It’s a song that is both sombre and uplifting in equal measure and, since losing one of my closest friends to suicide, I struggle to listen to this song without shedding a tear.

Any financial support you can give is hugely appreciated. We aren't funded by Government, and frankly struggle for every penny to keep our helpline going. We've recently been able to expand our helpline opening hours to seven days a week, and that was purely down to public donations. It costs us about £3,500 to run the helpline for a week as is, so if you can give even a little regularly, that would be fantastic.
Huge thanks.
